This guide covers everything you need to know about managing and optimizing your license key, from initial purchase to server migrations. 1. Choosing the Right License
Important Notes
- License agreements typically prohibit redistribution, reverse-engineering, and unlicensed commercial use—review the EULA to ensure your usage model is permitted.
- Keep purchase records and proof of license to respond to vendor audits.
- For regulated environments, confirm the backup product and licensing model meet any data residency, encryption, or audit-log requirements.
- Protect license keys like other secrets—store them encrypted in a vault or secure password manager.
- Avoid embedding keys in source code, scripts, or configuration files in plaintext.
- Use least-privilege accounts for backups and the storage endpoints (dedicated DB user with backup-only privileges).
- If the product supports it, prefer machine- or account-bound activations over portable keys, to reduce risk of key theft and misuse.
- Rotate or reissue keys promptly if compromise is suspected.
Online validation
| Mechanism | Description | |-----------|-------------| | | The software periodically checks the key against Pranas.NET’s activation server. | | Heartbeat | If no internet for >30 days, the software continues working but may show a warning. After 90 days offline, it reverts to FREE mode until reconnected. | | Hardware fingerprint | The key is bound to a fingerprint of the server’s main hard drive and MAC address. Changing virtual hardware (e.g., cloning a VM) may deactivate the license. | | Deactivation allowed | You can deactivate a license from within the software (License tab → Deactivate) to move it to another server. | License Key Sqlbackupandftp
