Softron is pleased to announce the launch of a new license activation mechanism through the Softron License Manager, a major step forward in simplifying software licensing for media professionals.
This updated system introduces a more flexible, user-friendly approach to activating and managing licenses. While initially available only for select Softron applications, all new releases starting from April 24th, 2025 will adopt this new copy protection system moving forward.
Key Benefits of the New Mechanism:
- No New Serial Numbers Needed: Existing licenses remain valid. Users do not need to request new serials—the only requirement is to update to the latest version of supported applications.
- Force Releases: If your computer has an issue, or if you reformat it, no need to contact us anymore, you can do it simply in Softron License Manager.
- Centralized License Management: Users gain a clear overview of all license statuses, expiration dates, and activation slots from one interface.
- Enhanced Security: Licenses are tied to user accounts and hardware in a secure, transparent way.
- Share Licenses: You can share the access to your licenses with multiple users.
An internet connection is required from time to time, as the software needs to communicate with our servers every few days. If it cannot connect for an extended period (typically 2 to 3 days), the application will automatically switch to demo mode. Your computer does not need to be connected continuously, but it must go online periodically to maintain activation.
If your computer cannot connect to the internet periodically, you can migrate your license to a dongle instead. Dongles are available for purchase in our online store.
To get started, users simply need to download the updated version of their Softron application (when available).
