1. R-Studio T80+ licenses for Windows, Mac, and Linux are sold separately and are not interchangeable. A purchased license can only be used on a computer running the same operating system (OS) for which the license was acquired. However, you can use the same registration key to activate the R-Studio Technician Emergency version, which allows you to run the software on a serviced computer, regardless of the installed OS. Note that the following instructions specifically apply to the R-Studio T80+ license for Windows and do not pertain to R-Studio Technician or R-Studio Standalone.
2. The R-Studio T80+ license requires activation every time the software is launched, and a new data recovery session begins. This activation needs an Internet connection, which can be established either directly on the computer where the software is installed or indirectly using a QR code and a smartphone. There are no exceptions to this requirement; alternative activation via USB sticks is offered for the R-Studio Technician license only.
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/T80+ setup files compatible with the purchased license from our "My Order" portal.

2. With an R-Studio T80+ license, you are allowed to service an unlimited number of computers. However, before transferring the license to a different computer, you must complete an open data recovery session on the original computer. If you do not finish this session, you will be unable 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.
