How to protect your investment
Keep your investment in Model
Sim
safe by protecting your hardware security key. It is an
absolutely essential part of your system since the software will not run without it. And while
Model Technology will replace a defective key, lost or stolen keys will not be replaced. One
way you can protect your investment is by insuring it. While most insurance companies won’t
insure software, they will insure hardware, so insure the key for the full Model
Sim
value.
Keys and time
Model
Sim
security keys for evaluations, or short-term licenses contain a time-based code. If
you set your PC’s system date back or move the key to a PC with an earlier system date, the
key will not work until the new date "catches up" with the original date. System dates do not
effect permanent licenses.
