Licensing platform for Software Activation
Our licensing platform is cloud based and does not support OSRI. The iSetup smart setup wizard will check with the cloud licensing server each time a customer attempts to activate a product and if it finds it activated, it won’t proceed by design. Reason for that is to have more control on distributing the software and minimize any unauthorized replication or reverse engineering.
The customer must contact us for a deactivation when the HDD crashes or any similar issues.
Other than that, the customer needs to buy a new license.
