Why is my new X-Formation product license set to expire?

Anchor
software expire software expire

Most software purchases have 30-day payment terms. If X-Formation delivers your software to you before your payment is received, the software is normally set up to expire in 30 days, in order to allow for payment to be received.

As soon as payment is received, the expiring version will be replaced with a non-expiring version. (For LM-X, the expiration refers to the license generator, not the client libraries. ) If you need to reactivate/redownload your software, we will notify you.

To avoid expiration, make sure that payment is scheduled to arrive on time.
