However, every user has the ability to release his/her license at least once for reinstallation. SAi, the software manufacturer, typically oversees re-licensing to prevent abuse. “I no longer have my software due to crash or reformat, and I’m in a hurry to reinstall (for the first time).” In those cases, users of Vinyl Express LXi Cloud will need to take other measures. Unfortunately, we don’t always have the option of removeing the license before unexpected computer failure. Select “Remove License from This Computer.” Find the LXi Cloud folder and open the “License Manager.”ģ. Click “Start” in Windows and go to “All Programs.”Ģ. Still, you may want to remove the license manually just to be certain. The license will be released as part of the uninstall process as long as the computer is connected to the internet when you do. “My software is still working, but I want to transfer it to a different computer.” There are a few different ways to go about this depending on your situation. Isn’t there a way to transfer (not copy) the license from one computer to the next? Of course there is! The key is you must remove your current license before you can license a new (or even the same) computer. LXi Cloud’s license registration prevents illegal copies and unauthorized usage, but what about a legitimate need to reinstall? Maybe our computer crashed maybe it caught a virus and we had to reformat maybe we just want to upgrade to a new computer. In the same manner, when Cloud users try to download to a second computer, they are prompted that the software has already been licensed to the first computer and is therefore unavailable for download. Prior to LXi Cloud, previous versions prohibited simultaneous usage on multiple computers by requiring that a security hardware key (or dongle) be plugged into the computer while using the program. The standard purchase of Vinyl Express LXi Cloud or LXi 12 includes one license. After all, if the software doesn’t require a security hardware key, what’s stopping users from downloading multiple copies? This article will address licensing and explain what to do if you ever need to reinstall to the same or new computer.

At the other end, some users think they can download the software multiple times onto an infinite number of computers. At one end of the spectrum, we have users who fear they can never switch computers because they have already downloaded their one and only copy of LXi. Let’s clear up some misconceptions about Vinyl Express LXi Cloud and LXI 12.
