Below is information that pertain to a situation where the PC where your Kipware® software was installed has "crashed". Below are some FAQ's that apply to this type of situation :

  1. We allow for a "reasonable" number of PC "crashes". You should insure the software is installed on a stable PC in a stable environment. 
  2. If the client history illustrates a total disregard for the proper maintenance of the license ... a purchase of an UPGRADE or and ADDITIONAL SEAT may be warranted to get the software up and running. The Kentech Support Staff will review the history and make a determination.
  3. All Activation Codes are tied to the hardware and some major software on the PC where it is installed.
  4. First ... any Activation Code previously supplied will not work on another PC ... it will only work on the PC for which it was originally supplied.
  5. If you have made major hardware or software changes to the PC ... for example, replaced the hard drive ... the previously supplied Activation Code will no longer work ... you will need a NEW Activation Code.
