require online activation?
No, current versions of Lucatec® Mask do not perform any form of online activation nor are licenses “hardware-locked” in any way. However, this does also have a few downsides, e.g. the necessity for Modification Keys or the fact that orders can no longer be refunded once a key has been issued or that keys with erroneous license information (e.g. misspelt licensee name) cannot be revoked, etc. So we are strongly considering a change in this direction for future releases.
