Machine Replacement Policy

• You may transfer Your Licence to a replacement Device up to two (2) times per calendar year through the automated transfer system.
• Each transfer deactivates the previous Device permanently.
• After exhausting the annual transfer allowance, further transfers require written approval from the Licensor's support team.
• The Licensor reserves the right to deny transfer requests where patterns suggest licence sharing or circumvention.

The Software requires mandatory online activation to function. Activation binds the Licence to a specific Machine ID.

• Upon first launch, the Software generates a Machine ID from the Device's hardware characteristics. This Machine ID is transmitted to the Licensor's Server for verification.
• The Software may periodically contact the Server to validate the continued legitimacy of the Licence, verify that the Machine ID has not changed, check subscription status and expiry, deliver updates and security patches, and enforce device limits.
• If the Software cannot contact the Server for an extended period, certain features may become restricted until connectivity is restored.

You shall not, and shall not permit any third party to:

• Share Licence Keys, login credentials, or activation codes with any person or entity not authorised under this Licence;
• Circumvent device restrictions by using virtual machines, hardware spoofing tools, or any other means to activate on more Devices than permitted.

Violation of any prohibition under this Section shall constitute grounds for immediate termination and may result in civil and/or criminal proceedings under applicable Indian law, including the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Copyright Act, 1957.
