1. R-Studio Technician licenses for Linux, Mac, and Windows are bundled together in a single R-Studio Technician package. You can use the same registration key to activate any of the licenses included in this package, which also covers R-Studio Agent and Agent Emergency. Please note that the following instructions apply specifically to R-Studio Technician licenses for Linux and do not pertain to R-Studio T80+, R-Studio Corporate or R-Studio Standalone for Linux.
2. By default, R-Studio Technician requires activation every time the software is launched and a new data recovery session starts. This activation needs an Internet connection, either directly for the computer where R-Studio is installed, or indirectly using a QR code and a smartphone. To avoid the need for an Internet connection, you can switch to the activation via USB sticks option. When such a stick is inserted, R-Studio Technician automatically detects it, reads the license data, and activates without connecting to the Internet.
3. If you have purchased the incorrect license or have any concerns about the software's functionality or licensing terms, it is essential that you contact us before activating the license on the first serviced computer.
4. You can download the R-Studio Technician setup files compatible with the purchased license from our "My Order" portal.

Registration/Activation:

1. By default, R-Studio Technician and its Emergency version require activation every time the software is launched and a new data recovery session starts. This activation needs an Internet connection, either directly for the computer where R-Studio is installed, or indirectly using a QR code and a smartphone. To avoid the need for an Internet connection, you can switch to the activation via USB sticks option. When such a stick is inserted, R-Studio Technician automatically detects it, reads the license data, and activates without connecting to the Internet.
2. With an R-Studio Technician license, you are allowed to service an unlimited number of computers. However, it is essential to complete any data recovery session on a single computer before transferring the license to a different one. If you do not complete the session, you will not be able to activate the license on a new computer.
3. Please note that R-Studio software does not transmit your data to R-TT, except for the information outlined in our R-TT privacy policy.

Using an activation USB stick
The R-Studio Technician license provides the ability to create a USB stick for activation, which allows the licensee to activate/verify the license completely offline using a supported USB stick of their choice. The USB stick can be used not only for license verification but also for installing R-Studio Technician Portable and one of the bootable versions (WinPE or Linux) of R-Studio Technician Emergency (Startup version). This means that an R-Studio Technician licensee can create a universal USB stick and use it to run R-Studio Technician on any computer, whether connected to the Internet or offline, running OS or with a damaged OS, at a facility with or without Internet access.

The R-Studio Emergency license is included with the R-Studio Technician license. To learn how to create an R-Studio Emergency Startup Device and activate it, please review our article "Emergency File Recovery".

The R-Studio Agent and R-Studio Agent Emergency licenses are part of the R-Studio Technician license. Detailed instructions for their use and activation can be found on our pages "Data Recovery over Network" and "Emergency Data Recovery over Network".
