If device replacement is necessary in case of service, the activated license
can be unlocked and then reactivated in the event of a PC replacement.
When replacing a device, it is not possible to return the license, but the li-
cense can be restored on the new device. This is possible up to 2 x. After-
ward, Weidmüller must be contacted.

activated can be transferred to a new PC:

cense can be moved, i.e. returned to the old/existing PC and reactivated
on the new PC.
