The primary hardware ID is used as the main criteria to activate copy protection. Only if this criteria is not retrievable the Alternative Hardware ID is used.
For single user installations or CD distribution, the hardware ID 4 (NetBIOS Name) is recommended. For network installations use installation code 5 (Volume ID + UNC Path) or 6 (MAC Address + UNC Path).
If you offer a USB flash drive installation, the Primary Hardware ID must be 11 (USB flash drive).
Theses values are automatically assigned to each new project.
It can be defined, how often a Serial Number can be used. The default value is 1. If you want to allow, that the product is installed e.g on 3 different PC's, then change here the value to 3.
Typically a customer can uninstall a product and reinstall it on the same computer. The Serial Number is accepted again. Some settings (e.g. time limited version after activation is done) require to prevent a reinstallation. This setting is automatically done but you can individually change it.
Every time a setting is changed, the information has to be updated on the Activation Server. This is done by clicking on Update Project on the Activation Server. This can be done automatically every time a project is published, if this option is unselected. If your firewall allows the access to the Activation Server it is sensible to select the automatic update.
