Automatic License Update/Validation
This is a vital feature that empowers you to offer your application as software subscription. With automatic license update, the application will automatically connect to the Activation Server in background process to update the license (e.g. upgrade features, renew subscription).
During license update, the validation also checks against the user account on the server. If the account becomes invalid (e.g. fraudulent), the server will return an instruction to the application to remove the license automatically.
