# Cloud and Softlock License Usage Scenarios

Virbox applications can only read one license at one time only.

## **Case 1: Users own Multiple Cloud License (Separate Email Account)**

For cloud licenses, Virbox will only read the license that is set as **default**.

To use a different cloud license, select the corresponding email account and click *‘Set As Default’*. Virbox will always read the default cloud license, regardless of how many cloud licenses you have logged in.

**Virbox will read cloud license that we set to default**

## **Case 2: Users own Multiple Softlock License (Separate Email Account)**

For softlock licenses, Virbox will detect the **first binded license**(Regardless of which email account you *‘Set As Default’*)

**Virbox will read the****first binded license****(In this case, DraNET license is the first that user bind)**

Therefore, it is recommended for users to only bind one license at one time to avoid confusion in the softlock license detection.

## **Case 3: Users own Cloud and Softlock License (under Separate Email Account or One Email Account)**

### **With Internet Connection**

Virbox will read **Cloud License** that users click **‘Set As Default’** even though the Softlock License has been binded into the PC. **Cloud License takes precedence** when internet connection is available and the license is marked as default.

*In the WiFi environment, Cloud License will override the binded softlock license (Can check the binded license under ‘Local Soft’).*

### **Without Internet Connection**

Virbox will read the **binded Softlock License,**since the Cloud License requires internet access to function.

*Virbox will read the****binded Softlock License****in an offline (No WiFi) environment*

## **How to use Softlock License in a WiFi environment.**

Logout the softlock email account after successfully binding the softlock license inside the PC. Now Virbox will read the binded license as shown in image below.

1. *Select the email under Cloud Account > Click the ‘Logout’ button to remove the account*

## **Conclusion**

To avoid confusion especially in the cloud and softlock license detection, it is recommended for users to **login and bind only one license** that you intend to use in your PC.
