0.9b adds the facility of "copying" the Activation Code to another PC.
Edit : For this to work, ALL PCs must be upgraded to 0.9b first !
When two PC's are LAN connected, and PC-A received the Activation Code over the Internet, PC-B could refer to "Licence Holder" PC-A as per version 0.9a.
As off now, PC-B can generate its own Activation Code, based upon the Activation Code from PC-A.
As before, on PC-B enter the reference path to PC-A (the original License Holder) and press Activate (the button is new);
After all went OK, an obtained Activation Code will be shown in the field for Activation Code;
If you now press Activate again, a new Activation Code will be registered for PC-B.
The latter implies that you now can disconnect PC-B from the LAN and run XXHighEnd on it without the Demo running time.
The new procedure implies that there are now two ways of letting a second (etc.) PC in your household run XXHighEnd : the means by reference path and the means of generating a new Activation Code;
Currently it is not sure what advantages both means might have for future options. Choosing for the one always allows for choosing for the other again, later.
There were two objectives for creating the means of "copying" the Activation Code :
1. You Activated one PC, but really wanted another, and it can't be LAN connected to the first;
2. You foresee that the PC holding the License has to be rebuilt etc.
The second case would be the same as anticipating on a computer crash which may happen sometime, so you should always "backup" your Activation Code by this means. Backup sounds heavy, but in this case it means :
Go to another connected PC, install (ehh, copy-paste) XX, start XX, go to the UnDemo section and enther the path to the shared disk of the PC to "backup", press Activate Twice. Done.
Now keep this PC available when something goes wrong with the original. If so, you can do exactly the same as just described.
Please note that future upgrades can require the originally obtained Activation Code (which you might not even have running somewhere anymore), even where the newly generated Activation Codes are derived from the original. So always keep that original and ... don't pass it on to someone else, because your name is connected to it, hence you would have passed it on, and nobody stole it
