this is how it should be explained and how Smith Micro is handling licences to make sure to avoid any conflicts !!!
You have a choice between online and offline activation. You will have a seven-day grace period before activation becomes mandatory.
If you perform an online activation, Moho will require an activation refresh every 45 days. If you’re connected to the internet, this refresh will be done automatically. If you’re not connected to the internet at the refresh point, you will have a seven-day grace period before the refresh becomes mandatory. If you choose to do an offline (“manual”) activation, Moho will require an activation refresh every 180 days and you will have a seven-day grace period to perform this manual refresh.
During any seven-day grace period, you will only be able to use the Moho Debut feature set. Moho single-seat license has a 'like a book' policy. If you purchase a single-seat license, Moho can be installed and activated on up to three devices or OS installations, but only one person can use the software at one time. If you wish to purchase a multi-seat license, please visit our website for volume pricing.
To ensure you are not blocked from installing and activating Moho on your computer after re-installing your OS or buying a new computer – please make sure to deactivate the application from within Moho via Help > Deactivate License.
this would answer many questions also there would be a grace Period the user is warned 7 day's before that he will need to connect for a check !!!
see also the differences between Manual and connected Activation , in the case of Bondware it does not seem to have a Offline activation at all !!! this sample shows that it also can be reactivated offline after the Period of 180 day's
so where the hell are the correct conditions of Bondware since they took over the Licence from Smith Micro ... I have to assume that the rules remained the same as there has not been any Updates on them.
