Transferable licenses require active internet connection for the installation, uninstallation and at least once in a month for verification.
This section covers information about the benefits of using transferable licenses, and contains information about how to properly install and register the Tiff Viewer with transferable licenses.
What is the difference between the transferable license and regular (static) licenses?
The regular (static) Tiff Viewer license is tied to a computer. Therefore even if you bought a new computer you will not be able to reinstall and register the Tiff Viewer on this new computer, since your license is already used up.
On the other hand the transferable license validates the license periodically and it is not tied to a computer. Therefore if you would like to move your already registered Tiff Viewer to a new computer, you can do it very easily by following the steps described in the Moving transferable license to another computer section.
Please note, that Tiff Viewer tries to validate the transferable license periodically over the internet, therefore you must have active internet connection at least once a month!
Registering TIFF Viewer with transferable license
Please note that manual (offline) registration is not supported with transferable licenses!
To register the Tiff Viewer during the demo period or to resume full functionality from the free version once the demo has expired, click Register (administrator privileges required).
The following dialog appears:
Enter your serial number in the text field and press OK. The serial number is in the body of the email containing download instructions for the Tiff Viewer.
NOTE: An active internet connection is required in order to license the software. Manual (offline) registration is not supported with transferable licenses! The serial number contains dashes that are part of the serial number.
The software will register over the Internet connection via a secure SSL connection to query the Black Ice license server and verify that the serial number entered is valid.
