PCAP Surgery license
PCAP Surgery License
PCAP Surgery uses a simple desktop license model designed for individual users, small teams, and specialist workflows that do not need a heavy account system.
A typical license is activated online inside the desktop application with the purchase email and license key. The application may store an activation record on the local machine so the tool can continue working without asking the user to sign in every time.
If the software supports offline use, the local activation state should remain usable for a reasonable period. If the machine is replaced, reinstalled, or blocked by a corporate network, contact support with the purchase email and a short description of the issue.
Do not share a license key publicly. If a key is exposed, disabled, or used on the wrong machine, support may need the purchase email, product name, operating system, and activation error message.
