License Clarification.

[Dude Guyman]

Before I purchase I'd like to know a little more about how licensing works. This is from the perspective of a person who never uses Hasleo while installed on Windows except to make the Rescue.iso. I only make and restore backups from the rescue environment and always remove the program from my PC after making the Rescue.iso.

Example scenario:
I am currently using "PC-1" and I buy the non-lifetime version (I understand how that works with no major version upgrade, 5.x to 6.x etc.).
A year or two from now, I upgrade my mainboard and CPU, and reinstall Windows 10 Enterprise (or maybe even Windows 12 Enterprise) onto a clean, wiped hard drive. Now it is "PC-1.a".
Does Hasleo still work or de-activate itself? What about the Rescue Disk I created? Is it checking for hardware changes or good to go?

Another year later, I upgrade my GPU and get a new SSD and now it's "PC-1.b" almost "PC-2" by now. Still work or de-activated?

After the changes from "PC-1" to "PC-*.*", will Hasleo still install and activate long enough to make a new Rescue.iso from version 5.5.2.1 to say 5.8.0.0, or will it see a new mainboard and CPU and refuse to activate? Does it phone home to check activation after the initial activation, ever? Is an internet connection required, ever, after the initial purchase and activation?

Each time I install-make rescue.iso/uninstall, reinstall new version-make new rescue.iso/uninstall it to upgrade my Rescue.iso from one minor version to the next minor version (same goes for Major versions if Lifetime License), does it activate without issue or does it think I am installing it on a second PC and refuse? Does it give me one of those "This license is already used and invalid" messages?

I'm not trying to be difficult, but I've run into similar problems in the past, many times, and need to know exactly how it works before I pay for a product I may not even be able to use in ~two months.

Thanks in advance.

First, we would like to clarify that the Rescue.iso does not perform any hardware checks and therefore will never expire. Regarding license deactivation, please be aware of the following:
1. If your license becomes deactivated due to a hardware change, please contact us, and we will reset it for you.
2. Generally, reinstalling or updating the program should not cause deactivation. However, if it does occur under these circumstances, please also contact us for a reset.

Your understanding is correct regarding the license type. If you purchased a non-lifetime upgrade license (for the current version), it does not entitle you to major version upgrades (e.g., from 5.x to 6.x). However, the license itself is perpetual, meaning you have the right to use the purchased major version indefinitely.

By the way, considering that some individual users utilize Windows LTSC IoT Enterprise, we are considering relaxing the restrictions on support for Windows LTSC IoT Enterprise in the free version.

That would be great, but I would still buy it to support the developers, assuming I am comfortable with the licensing.

Thanks for the info.

Everyone has the right to choose.

I have installed a giveaway version, activated it, and created an iso, which works perfectly but expires. If I advance the BIOS date one year and boot from the ISO, its returns to its free version.

Your giveaway professional license is only good for one year, and this must have been clearly marked on the giveaway page. Thanks.

Thanks for the quick response, if I buy a license for one year, will the iso created not expire like the giveaway version? 

Thanks for this fantastic program !!

If I understand correctly, there is no one year license (that would be a subscription model?). Maybe I'm wrong though and there is another thing with a "give-away" version?

If you buy a non-lifetime license, it works forever (installed, and rescue.iso -assuming they don't reintroduce that "time-bomb" again), but you can only upgrade to the last/final minor version -current 5.5.2.1 to potential 5.9.9.9 , and "support" for that version ends when a new major version (6.x.x.x) is released (totally fair).

A lifetime license goes on to new major versions. 5.5.2.1 to 6.x.x.x to 7.x.x.x -->

As long as the critical "Rescue.iso" it makes is solid and has no timers, hardware checks or internet connection requirements, I'm good with it, and will make the purchase!

Rescue.iso created from giveaway expires after one year.
I would like to know if rescue.iso created with a one-year license also expires after a year, or is that iso valid forever?
