How licensing works

AR 51 software is protected by machine-bound licensing. This page is a high-level overview; step-by-step activation and transfers live in the customer download portal.

The model

• A license key is bound to a machine — it's generated from that machine's hardware.
• The software validates the license online periodically.
• An offline grace period lets the software keep working without a connection (target: 24 hours).
• One customer account can hold multiple machine keys (e.g. several capture PCs).

Transfers

License transfers (moving a key to a different machine) are currently handled by AR 51 support. Self-service transfer may be offered in the future.

Activation

Activation and detailed instructions are provided in the download portal (gated, per-customer). See:

• Activation
• Licensing FAQ

note

This public page explains what the model is. Anything account- or key-specific (downloads, activation steps, transfer requests) is kept in the authenticated download portal.
