Activations & Device Transfers
Activations are the term we use to denote the process of binding a device to a license. There are a few fields that allow you to control the node-locking properties of your software license, these are Max Activations , Times activated , and transfer count:
Max Activations refers to the maximum number of distinct devices that can activated against a license.
When issued, a license always starts with a times activated of 0. Each time a license is activated (bound to a device), the value for total activations increments by 1, when a device is deactivated from a license, the Times activated field will decrement by 1. Total activations must always be less than or equal to Max Activations
When a license is deactivated on a device and then activated on a different device, the Transfer count will increment by 1.
You can set rules around transfering licenses across devices. For example, you can prevent device transfers, or only allow a license transfer a limited number of times.
