Since DAEMON Tools for Mac 7, all the functionality was divided into Basic and Advanced features. Thus, there are two types of licenses: Free and Paid.

Later you will be able to change it.

If you already have a serial number, you can press Change and enter it to the active field. Press Activate and you're good to go!
Paid License
If you choose to activate the Paid License while installing DAEMON Tools for Mac, the following window opens:

The license is already in use
Your license is linked to the System ID of the computer, on which DAEMON Tools for Mac is installed, for security reasons. However, System ID may be changed after an operating system reinstall or update. In this case, you will get the following message:
There are two options available here:
-
Revoke an activated PC button redirects you to your account, where you can cancel the previous license to make it available for the new system.
-
Buy an additional PC button redirects you to the cart and allows purchasing license for one or several additional computers. This option is highly recommended when you want to install DAEMON Tools for Mac on more than one Mac.
Note that additional license is much cheaper than the new full license, so if you are going to use DAEMON Tools for Mac on several computers, you can save buying additional licenses instead of the ew ones. However, if you need to install the program on the one computer only, it is better to choose Revoke option that is free of charge. If you have any additional questions about DAEMON Tools licensing, feel free to contact our Support Team.
