Node-locked licenses are tied to the hardware of a specific PC.

Compared to file-based licensing, license activation has the advantage that the user or system administrator can independently deactivate the license and thus unbind a specific computer in order to use that license on another PC.

Note: The license must be deactivated before changing PCs or changing an activated system. Otherwise this activation will expire and will no longer be available to you.
