Jim's response was not entirely accurate. The list of things I can think of
that will cause CV to invalidate a license are the following: 1. Installing a new operating system (fresh or as an upgrade) that CV must run under. Installing Linux as a second operating system will have no impact on CV. Upgrading from Win98 to XP will. 2. Re-installing the current operating system. This does NOT include patches and the like, which should have no impact unless they tweak fundamental settings of the O/S that should not generally be touched by patches after initial installation. 3. Adding, changing, or deleting the user login accounts under which CV will run. If you install CV under a login account named "Fred" and then change the account name to "Joe", CV will think you're on a new computer. Similarly, if you install under "Fred" and try to access CV from a separate "Joe" account, CV will think it's on a different machine. 4. Installing and running a software program that diddles around with basic information on your system that is supposed to remain static after the O/S is installed. I don't know of any such programs by name, although I'm aware that such programs do exist. They aren't generally used by the average consumer. :-) 5. Deleting the file "cvkey.lic" from the Card Vault installation directory will unlicense CV. This file is retrieved from our server when the licensing wizard is completed. If the file is deleted, just run the wizard again and you'll be good to go. To my knowledge, no other items should impact CV's licensing. Please note that this may change in a future update of CV. We're working on an improved algorithm for identifying computers that will likely be introduced in a future update, at which point the "rules" about what will/won't trigger license invalidation may change.
