Starting from MiTS 2.8 version, we introduce a few more types of licenses to accommodate the new working normal.

We improved upon the previous soft-lock license in 2.5 version, so now that the soft-lock and cloud license no longer depend on the machine hardware ID. The differences between the licenses we introduced are listed below:

Hardlock License	Cloud License	Soft-Lock License
Modules, MiTS1, and MiTS 2	Starting from MiTS 2.8.X.X	Starting from MiTS 2.8.X.X Please take note that starting 2.8 version, softlock no longer depends upon your hardware ID
Requires a physical dongle to be plugged into the USB port of the user’s machine to launch the software.	Requires user to login into the Cloud Account on Virbox User License Tool	Requires user to login into the Cloud Account on Virbox User License Tool and online-bind license to the machine before launching software
	For users who own both a cloud and a soft-lock license, you may register both licenses under one single username (email address). However, users will need to set the Cloud License as the default, following the steps here for the software to apply the correct license type.
Temporarily bind to the machine where the dongle is plugged into	Temporarily bind to the machine as long as user is still logged into the Cloud Account	Temporarily bind the license to the machine
Can be used on other machine to launch software, as long as the dongle is plugged into the USB port of the machine	Can be used to launch software on different machines, but requires the user to be logged out of the Cloud Account on the previous machine first	Can be used on another machine (Machine B) by online-unbind the current machine (Machine A) from the license through the Virbox User License Tool, similar to plugging and unplugging the physical dongle from a machine. To launch the software on another machine, users only have to log in to the account and online-bind to the license again.

Users can also check on the name and number of machines bound to the license (for users with multiple licenses) by clicking “Bind-Info”.

With a soft-lock license, the initial login to a user’s account is a one-time step, solely intended to bind the license with the machine. After a successful binding process, users can freely launch the software as usual and even remain disconnected from the internet for up to 90 days. There’s no need for subsequent logins or logouts as long as the license remains bound to the machine.
