License Types
Desktop License
This class of license applies to computers that have 8 or less computational cores and runs a Windows, Macintosh, or Linux operating system on a single computer. To receive a license key, download and install the product. Launch the product to receive a hardware ID (HID). Email the HID to Semichem to receive a node-locked license key. The license will be valid only on the computer that matches the HID.
Transferring these licenses to another computer will require a new keyfile. Semichem will issue a new keyfile within one year of purchase, or as long as Annual Maintenance is renewed. Semichem reserves the right to limit the number of replacement keyfiles. Annual Maintenance is optional and these node-locked licenses do NOT EXPIRE, but we highly recommend purchasing Annual Maintenance to allow easy migration of the license as your hardware changes.
Site (one OS) License
This class of license applies to computers that have 8 or less computational cores and runs on Windows, Macintosh, or Linux operating systems.

Site licenses INCLUDE maintenance for the initial year of the license. For continued use of the program, annual maintenance is REQUIRED.
