Overview

This needs to be expanded and explained more fully, but for now:

A 24 Hour Online License is a way to temporarily Enable the Timing features of the software without the usual requirement of a Key.

They are included free with licenses 6 months or longer or may be purchased.

These are incredibly useful for situations like:

  • That one race that's scheduled after your license has expired.
  • That day where you're hosting more races at once than you have keys and licenses.
  • That race that needs backup timing that you hadn't planned on.
  • That emergency situation where you lost your key or there's a problem with the key.

The 24 hour license is a code, something like ABCDE-12345. They are given in the order confirmation once payment is made, both on the order summary screen and in the confirmation email.

It's called an "Online" license because the software detects the license via the internet to validate it each time the computer starts. Once activated on a specific computer it will set to "Timing Enabled" for the remaining time each time the software starts. It will only work on that computer.

The license works on the Club and Nat/FIS software interchangeably. You may change to the other software any time and the license will continue.

To verify and to activate a license,and also for additional information, via the menu go to the Software License | 24 Hour Online License.

The 24 hours begins when the license is activated. In other words if activated at 3pm on Saturday it will be valid until 3pm Sunday.

You may restart the software as often as you like during the 24 hours.

You must be online each time the software is started for the license to be pulled from SplitSecond.com

A 24 hour license is not assigned to a particular entity or person. So, it may be given to someone else to use if you wish.

NOTE:
  • Don't let others see your 24 Hour Licenses. They can be used by anyone. So, keep them secret so you can use them when you want to / need to use them.
