To purchase the software, you must also sign up for 12 months of software maintenance (item no. 105971). After this period expires, you will receive an optional offer to extend the software maintenance.
The delivery does not include software on data carriers; instead, customers receive a download link with a reference to the GTAC download server as part of the delivery.
The range of functions is activated with the corresponding licence key, depending on the order. TopCNC Suite uses the Automation Licence Manager (ALM) to protect against unauthorised copying.
The USB stick and the licence number encryption also indicate whether it is a single licence or a multi-user licence (with the number of PC workstations).
