REPLACEMENT OF HARDWARE MAY HAVE LICENSING ISSUES

The APRESA software is protected against illegal copying. This protection is based on the linkage of the

software license and the hardware signature of the system that was used at first installation. In case of

failing hardware you must (obviously) locate and replace the failing hardware parts.

• Replacing the power supply or the DVD never involves software re-installation or licensing

issues.

• Replacing the hard drive involves new software installation & licensing. Simply re-use the base

software license you have. Then perform a restore backup operation to restore all settings and

recordings on the APRESA. No licensing issues will occur.

• Replacing the motherboard WILL cause a licensing issue. Because the APRESA software

license is based on the hardware signature of several unique properties that are located on the

motherboard APRESA will detect a licensing issue. On the WEB (home) page this issue will be

displayed as shown below:
