Service and service extensions for customer with permanent licenses:

Each new purchased easyDCP Plus comes with a valid service contract lasting for 6 months. Within this period, technical service, cost free updates and online roaming for the respective package are included without any additional payment. 

Once the service is about to expire, customers will be notified by e-mail. It is highly recommended to extend the service extension from minimum of 6 months. It will always be appended to the end of the current service-period. If the customer decides for a automatic service subscription the service extendes for another 6 month automatically.

In case a customer decided not to prolong the support and no new version of specific package has been released, it is still possible to get back into normal service. A reactivation (calculated form the regular service fee) for the period between previous service and the date the client wants to get back into support has to be paid. 

If a new version of specific package has been released during a non-support period, no prolongation of the (expired) service is in this moment possible. Here clients have to purchase a onetime fee in order to get the latest version of the easyDCP Plus/IMF Studio package. The update price depends on the date when the previous service extension has ended and the date the client purchased the update for his respective easyDCP Plus/IMF Studio package.

A system hash uniquely identifies a system based on its hardware and operating system.

It looks like this:

Since only a scrambled reprensentation of the true system hash is presented, it looks different every time, even for the same system.

When do you need a system hash?

Normally, you never need it. With older versions, up to easyDCP Creator 2.2.X, easyDCP Player 2.0.X or easyDCP KDM Generator 1.4.1X, it was required to activate the product.
Newer versions must be always activated shown in this FAQ.  

How can you find out your system hash ?

1. Download and install the up to date easyDCP demo software or (easyDCP installer software if available) on the target hardware system
2. Start the easyDCP Software and Press F3
   Alternatively, select menue  Help | Legacy | Get machine system hash
3. The box with the system hash opens.
