Note about Mac (Apple) Operating Systems

According with some reports from users, this software (keyless and subscription modes) could be successfully installed and it is working properly on some Apple computers (Windows on Virtual Machines). We do not offer, we do not warranty, and we do not support this software running on a Mac; as we didn't test that enough to suggest it. You can try it at your own risk.

Internet

For perpetual license software products:

The connection to internet of the computer where the software is installed is not a requirement to run the software, but it is highly recommended. However, a permanent internet connection is required to install and use a product with virtual protection device in a virtual machine.

Through the internet connection, your software will present the Live-Update service, direct communication to the service & software support sites, in-app purchase of extra features, on-line promotions, etc.

The software registration/activation process requires an e-mail account and the use of any other computer with internet access to transfer files between your system (installed product) and our activation server.

Products with virtual protection device (KeyLess) require, time to time, a license validation. The process is automatic and transparent if the computer where you use the product is connected to internet; if internet is not available, you will need to use any other computer with internet access to transfer files between your system (installed product) and our activation server. A permanent internet connection is required to install and use products with virtual protection device (KeyLess) in virtual machines.

For temporary license products (subscription and demonstrations)

A high speed permanent Internet connection are absolutely necessary in order to run software subscriptions.

The software registration/activation process requires an e-mail account to complete the license activation.

Computer

The computer must meet a series of minimum characteristics in order to run the software. We suggest you to consider substantially exceeding the minimum required characteristics for a reasonable or much better software performance. A higher processor, more memory, a better video resolution or 2 monitors will improve the user experience.

Computer must be x64-based processor Intel or AMD architecture
