8. ACQUISITION OF ACQUIRED LICENSE KEYS IN OUR PROGRAMS


We use product registration information to register your product license (i.e., to validate and verify your license rights to the product for anti-piracy software) and to enable us to provide you with maintenance or support services. The data collection during product registration is reduced to a minimum and is divided into the following „product registration data“:

I.e. If you have to enter a license key in our programs, we will validate this license key online in real time for the purpose of fighting piracy software. The validation is encrypted over the Internet (SSL). This means that we compare the license key you have recorded with our own license key source that we have maintained for the program, and if the validation is successful, we bind your license key and machine ID to it, save and process this information permanently and, if the validation is successful, provide it the program free for you. The applicable legal bases in this context are Article 6 (1) (a), and alternatively also, (b), (c) and (f) of the General Data Protection Regulation.
