This software uses the L.E.A.P.System for Internet based online user license validation. Upon purchase and installation, a user license validation process takes place during the first launch. This validation must be renewed periodically and requires an environment that provides access to the Internet.
There is no guarantee the license validation can occur without any issue in a secured or restricted Internet environment such as those found in schools or corporate intranets.
