PURCHASING AND LICENSING
1What is Perpetual License?
Perpetual license is the traditional model. It's principal advantage is that you can buy the license once and use it forever without any further charges.
To use the license, internet connection is necessary at least once in every few days, so the licensing server can check validity of your license and Activation Key.

2Does an Perpetual License require a Maintenance Plan?
A Maintenance Plan subscription is needed to ensure that you receive all future upgrades (major and minor).
Without a Maintenance Plan (after subscription cancellation or expiry and non-renewal), only minor upgrades are available for the major version purchased.
3Where can I find the Activation Key?
The Activation Key can be found in the purchase order and you will receive by e-mail.
4How long until I get an Activation Key after I pay?
A few seconds later. Immediately after the payment you will get e-mails with your Activation Key that you can immediately use to activate XSMP.
5Is it possible to install XSMP on my home and office computers using the same Activation Key?
Yes, it is possible. However, you will not be able to use XSMP at the same time on both machines. You will have to deactivate Key on one computer and activate it on another.
License is node-locked – but it is re-hostable. This process is not automatic.

6Is there a planned Floating / Concurrent licensing model?
Yes. We are working in this direction.
7Can I resell my XSMP license?
Yes you can, but please notify us first, so we can update our licensing server records.
If you are buying a license, do not trust unknown people selling licenses over internet. Please contact us first to verify the seller. Some scammers are buying licenses with stolen credit cards and reselling them. These Activation Keys will get revoked / blocked.

We’ll send you a reminder when you’re coming up for renewal with all of the information you need. If you’ve not seen this reminder, you can request a callback from our support team.

As you’ve bought a perpetual license from us, that’s always going to be yours whether you renew Maintenance Plan or not. However, if you opt-out of the Maintenance Plan auto-renewal, you won’t be able to get any major upgrade, improvements, new materials and support priority, only to bug-fixes (minor version upgrades) and (depends on edition) pre-built library updates for the licensed version.
