Software licensing is handled by person rather than an online platform so you must speak to a person (during business hours) to reset a license should a computer fail. The company is particular that ownership transfer be completed correctly and signed by the registered owner for legal software license transfer. If you buy a used machine and do not have a verifiable paper trail from the owner to you (an auction or estate sale for instance) then it can be difficult to get properly licensed and use the machine. It's always best to call PlasmaCAM with a serial number to ensure there are no liens or issues with transfer should you purchase a machine.
