License Activation
License restrictions
An activated and valid license deployment is necessary to access the full functionality of the product. Without such license it is not possible to start scan requests.
License limitations
Scan limit: licenses contain a scan limit which defines the number of scans allowed daily. It is not possible to start new scan processes once the daily limit is depleted.
Deployment ID
Product deployments are represented by a unique system fingerprint called Deployment ID.
Licensing is based on the generated deployment ID and a limited number of activations are possible for each license. Therefore every time your product is deployed with a different deployment ID, it will be captured as a different activation record accumulated into your total activations allowed.
Once the number of active deployments reached the deployment limit, new product activations are not possible.
The Deployment ID is an automatically generated unique fingerprint identifying the computer the product is deployed on. It might change when you alter the system that the product is installed on.
