Hi, and sorry for posting another similar message in a wrong place.

9rays said that activation licensing file is based on a fingerprint of the hardware.

Now, the questions are:

- does the fingerprint changes if an USB device is added or removed?

- does the fingerprint changes if a CD/DVD device is changed/added?

- does the fingerprint changes if a hard disk is removed?

- does the fingerprint changes if a hard disk is replaced?

- does the fingerprint changes if a hard disk is added?

- does the fingerprint changes if hardware memory changes?

- is the fingerprint of a virtual machine (i.e. VMWare) the same of the host machine?

- does the fingerprint changes if a router/modem is changed?

- is a new activation file to be required to 9rays in all the cases described above?

Thank you

Fingerpring is changes if :
1. First hard disk is removed or replaced.
2. Motherboard(or system BIOS), processor unit or videocard (or video BIOS) is changed.
3. Computer name account is changed.

- is a new activation file to be required to 9rays in all the cases described above?

for the cases described above new activation file required. You can send the new activation request from the Spices.Net app to receive new activation file.
We're allow to use purchased copy of Spices.Net in the home/work or desktop/laptop configurations, but for each of used machine activation is required.

Sorry for incorrectness, I mean "Computer name is changed".

Ok. To be clear: this means (is my case) that if I have several partitions in the same machine with several different instances of Windows and each partition/OS has a different computer name, the fingerprint if NOT valid for partitions/OS other than tha partition/OS where the fingerprint was created?

- is the fingerprint of a virtual machine (i.e. VMWare) the same of the host machine?

Could you please reply to this?

Thank you and sorry for insistence!

Yes, if the different instances of Windows have a different computer names - in this case fingerprint will not valid. If all installed windows instances have a same computer name - fingerpint will valid.

- is the fingerprint of a virtual machine (i.e. VMWare) the same of the host machine?

Yes, in this case fingerptint will same of the host machine.
