This method is the simplest and easiest to use, and is appropriate for most people who wish to use the software on just one computer.

Desktop licences work by creating a desktop serial number unique to your computer and generating a licence file based on this unique number. This licence file is then saved locally on your computer so that the software can refer to it whenever it starts. If this licence file is deleted, renamed or moved, your software will revert to evaluation-only mode and will need to be re-activated.
