It is possible to allow by default, that a user can install the application multiple times on the same PC.
Scenario
| • | Customer installs and activates the license |
| • | Customer uninstalls the application |
| • | Customer reinstalls the application |
By default, the reinstallation would not work, because it is counted as a second activation.
The concept to allow a reinstallation
To recognize a PC, hardware ID’s are compared with former activations and only if hardware ID’s match, the module can be activated again.
A PC is considered identical if at least the number of installation codes, defined with MinIdenticalInstcodes, is identical – e.g. MinIdenticalInstcodes = 3 would need at least 3 identical installation codes out of all available codes (version 2.4 there are 9 codes) to be identified as the same PC.
MinIdenticalInstcodes is ignored if a list of installation codes is defined with CheckInstCodeType.
Example:
<CheckInstCodeType1>1</CheckInstCodeType1>
<CheckInstCodeType2>2</CheckInstCodeType2>
<CheckInstCodeType3>5</CheckInstCodeType3>
(installation code number 5 ensures that the version can not be installed again on another directory). A missing code 2 and 6 would allow an installation after a new network adapter was installed.
Depending on this definition, the Web Activation Server will compare only those 3 Instcodes to determine if a PC is identical.
| • | To turn on this feature - see AllowReactivation |
| • | Set the values how to identify a machine - see MinIdenticalInstcodes |
| • | See also CheckInstCodeType and IgnoreLocalInstCode for additional configuration options |
If this feature is turned off, the maximum number of Key / ID Usage have to be incremented by 1 manually - see Modify an Activation
To use this functionality with EasyGo you have to generate a Serial Number with the option Unlimited Installation (default setting for Serial Number) . Multimedia Protector creates all keys with this option turned on.
