Description
When using ApexSQL Trigger on a virtual workstation, every time the machine is restarted, the application reverts to trial mode. -
Cause
This is because there is a new hardware ID every time it's restarted, and the key is no longer recognised against the license server. -
Résolution
This behavior is caused by Hardware ID changes that occur every time the virtual machine is restarted.
The licensing system ApexSQL Trigger uses is based on the machine’s hardware ID. As with each restart of the virtual workstation, the hardware ID changes, the application is going back to trial mode because the records do not match with the licensing server.
Unfortunately this licensing system can't be changed, but the best way to address this is to configure your virtual machines to not change hardware ID on restart. You may need to check with your system administrator on adjusting this in your environment.
