Do I need a new RadarOpus license if I change my computer?

Do I need a new RadarOpus license if I change my computer?

If you use a dongle

No, because the license is stored on the physical dongle, so as long as the dongle works (we recommend getting a new one every 2 years to avoid normal wear and tear), you can use it on any device that has a RadarOpus software installed.

If you use a software license

If your RadarOpus works without a USB/Dongle then before you change your device you need to contact our tech support and have the license “lifted” from your old device and placed into the new device.
If you forget to do this and e.g. empty your Hard Drive or make any physical changes to your device then the license will likely break and you will need to purchase a replacement.
