Occasionally you might want to remove a license (if the license has expired, for example).

A dialog box appears, listing the licenses on this machine.

When a license is added to an Easysoft product running under Windows, the licenses are added into the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Easysoft\Licences
Licenses are not removed with the software when an Easysoft product is removed by selecting Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs.
Similarly, licenses are not over-written if an Easysoft product is upgraded and will still be utilised by the upgraded software.
However, any hardware change or re-installation of an operating system can result in removal or nullification of the license.
To prevent this take a copy of the registry key and store the file away from your server.
If the server is rebuilt the registry key can then be added back on to the server.
