License Procedure
As of Pro Cloud Server version 4.0.30 Pro Cloud Server licenses are linked to the host machine, which is an enforcement of what is stated in the license agreement.
Along with the change to Licensing procedures, Pro Cloud Server 4.0.30 introduced the 'Token' Edition, which provides a more flexible upgrade path by making use of tokens that can be purchased separately at any time to enable only the extra functionality your environment requires.
For the premium editions (Team and Enterprise) the enabled functionality remains unchanged, except that the Team edition now allows seven Pro-enabled models, which is an increase of two compared to earlier versions.
