Facts About the Split-Desktop Version 3.1 Protection Key

1. The Split-Desktop software program is sold as a single user license. 2. Each single software license is sold with one (1) Protection Key (dongle) that allows only one installation of the software program to be utilized on one computer at any given time. 3. The software program will not run without the Protection Key attached to the computer. 4. The software program may be loaded on numerous computers, however, see number 3 above. 5. To enable two separate users to utilize Split-Desktop simultaneously on two computers, a second software license is required. 6. A second software license requires a second separate Protection Key.

Based on the above facts, it is clear that the Protection Key (dongle) is a very valuable piece of physical hardware. This hardware enables the use of the software. Without the Protection Key, the software is inoperable. A loss or disappearance of the Protection Key is the same as losing the software. Employ practical measures to ensure retention of the Protection Key. Procure insurance to protect the Protection Key in case of theft or loss. In case of theft or loss, Split Engineering cannot provide replacement Protection Keys at a reduced price or free of charge any more than any manufacturer would replace your lost physical hardware item in the same manner.
