A date stamp of some kind is involved.
I was told by the Shadow Protect rep that the quarterly updates will
function for 30 days after the end of the quarter, then will fail.
I have not tried an outdated file to prove this.

Subject: [kcsmb] ShadowProtect IT Edition 3 Licensing Model
Hi,
At CRM Innovation we are going to release our next S+S solution for Microsoft
CRM and I am considering including a Partner Licensing model as an alternative
in addition to the typical end user licensing.
Basically it would be 'similar' to the ShadowProtect IT Licensing model
http://www.storagecraft.com/shadow_protect_IT_edition.php
http://www.storagecraft.com/documents/SPITLicense.pdf
Whereby they provide a CD I believe for use by one tech each year for a
renewable fee.
In our case we would license our service by a single account sign in to the
hosted service and the partner could then use the Data Import/Migration tool
with as many clients they work with each year.
In subsequent years they would renew the subscription.
What I am wondering is how does Shadow Protect manage the use of this recover
CD?
1. Honor system
2. CD which can't be cloned
3 Other security method.
Anybody know how they do it or alternatively do you use this same type of
licensing model from any other vendors?
