Every usage of an Activation Key or Serial Number or any other connections to the Activation Server (like move a license) create a record in the database - this is a Transaction.

 

Even if the request fails, an error is recorded.

 

There could be more than one Transaction for a key / ID.

What would create an additional Transaction?

•A user reinstalls the software and uses the Activation Key again. If this reinstallation is working or would create an error is defined in the product reactivation settings

•Validate a key / ID

•A license is moved from PC A to PC B

•A key, which was already used on PC A is also used on PC B. If this additional usage of a key is working or would create an error is defined in the Maximum Key / ID usage settings

•A regular online check, e.g. license check every 30 days

•A license transfer

•A license file upload or download

 

A transaction is also counted for validations which result in an error like

 

•Key / ID is locked

•Key / ID already used

•Transaction failed
