Ranger uses a "node locked" licensing model. When a Ranger licenses is first unlocked, it is bound to the PC hardware.
Once a Ranger license is unlocked, the license cannot be later moved to a different PC.If you would like to install a Ranger license on a different PC, you will need a new unbound Ranger license.
Ranger licenses can unlocked an unlimited number of times ask long as:
- The Ranger product key/license is unlocked on the same computer hardware again-and-again.
- Ranger annual software maintenance fee is paid-up and is up-to-date.
If you reinstall Windows, install a Windows update, or similar situations, the registry entries that Ranger use were likely removed.
If the PC has not changed, you can use the normal Ranger license unlock procedure to restore Ranger's license registry entries.
