Licence Protector MAC Edition offers a media independent protection - the media itself like CD / DVD, download link or USB flash drive is not modified or protected. The copy protection does not prevent, that you can copy the data from CD to the hard disk or duplicate the CD, but it prevents that the application can be started on multiple machines or that the Serial Number can be used twice.

 

The copy protection works in the way that the license file is linked to the Serial Number of the MAC OS X.

 

To display the Serial Number,

 

•Choose About This Mac from the Apple Menu ( Apple logo on the Menu Bar))

•Double-click the version text, for example "Version 10.7"

 

 

 

 

or click on More Info on this screen

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To distinguish a Serial Number Key and the Serial Number of the MAC computer it is referenced as System ID in this documentation.

 

Licence Protector Windows has different hardware IDs. To distinguish the hardware IDs, the System ID of the MAC version has the number 14. This is relevant for the configuration of the copy protection within the product configuration of the Activation Server 4.
