Is it possible to 'borrow' licences from the server?

Answer

No, our current licensing system has no lending function – regardless of the physical (hardlock, USB dongle) or digital (softlock) software protection variant.

In contrast to the physical variant, the digital software protection technology also provides a 'rehost' function in order to transfer the digital software protection system from one computer to another. However, this transfer does not mean it is possible to transfer a single licence for a particular program of our product range, but the entire licensing that is controlled by the respective softlock. Thus, you can only transfer the digital software protection to another computer by plugging the physical software protection key to another computer.
