Reactivation after copy protection violation

If the user gets a copy protection violation error - see screen - you can try a reactivation. This makes sense to cover the situation, that a user has changed the hardware criteria you used for copy protection. It is automatically covered using EasyGo.

How does this work?

•When the user activates the license 13 hardware IDs are transferred but only one ID is used for copy protection (you configure it on the server)

•In the case the ID you used changes, Licence Protector would connect to the Activation Server 6 and send again 13 hardware IDs

•The Activation Server 6 then compares the old IDs with the new IDs using a rule you can specify

Cover a copy protection error using own screens

If the result of PrepareAndCheck is error code 1024 (copy protection violation) then

•Open the file with SecurityLevel, then PrepareForce

•Retrieve the Serial Number using GetSerial

•Now perform a license check including product activation using WebRegisterExt and the Serial Number as ID. Product has to be the main module number.

•If you get an error code = 0, then the reactivation was successful. All other error codes should terminate the application

Make sure to make the correct Activation Server definitions for the reactivation.
