Registration is not tied to an IP address, but to the specific computer hardware and specific Windows installation. If these elements change, for example due to a system reinstallation, you can simply generate a new license key under your existing user ID. If these elements are changing on each start-up, for example due to virtualization, then unfortunately the Magic RDS 4 cannot be used on such a configuration. You would recognize this in advance by the fact that Magic RDS 4 shows you a different installation ID every time you start the system.
However, we have never encountered this problem before. Try to set up a stable environment for the program from the perspective of the above. If you have no other option, we can use simple diagnostics to determine where the problem is. It probably won't be appropriate to use a preview version of Windows.

Hi there Jan,

Payed for 3 times for now for magicrds4, Now we just have to wait and see what Windows 11 does this time to make it unregistered again!

This is not standard behavior, but if you email me, we can work it out. I've reset your account to allow further key generation.

I've absolutely had it with this! for 3 time i'll payed for Magic rds! It's that windows 11 Pro Inside preview Evaluatie-exemplaar. Build 29671.1000.rs_prorelease.260911-1426 that changing Magicrds from Standard to Basic ... within a half year several times! Now i'm don with it!!!!

I understand your frustration, but I think there are two important points that need to be clarified.

First, the Magic RDS license is a lifetime license. You do NOT need to purchase Magic RDS 4 again when the license becomes invalid due to system change. Your existing User ID remains valid, and if the Installation ID changes, a new license key can be generated for the new Installation ID. I also reset your account in June specifically to allow further key generation.

So please do not purchase another license. If you have any problem generating a replacement key for your existing license, contact me and we will solve it.

Second, we need to find out why the license becomes invalid. When this happens and Magic RDS falls back to Basic, please go to:
Help - License Manager - Diagnose

Please save this diagnostic information each time the problem occurs. By comparing it with the previous one, we can determine whether Windows is changing the system identifiers used by the licensing system.

However, I also have to point out that you are running a Windows 11 Insider Preview / Evaluation build. Preview versions of Windows are development and testing versions and make changes to the operating system that do not occur on regular released versions. We cannot guarantee correct operation or license persistence on such Windows builds, because Microsoft may any time change system components or identifiers on which applications rely.

In previous posts, I explained how and where the problem arises, how to work with the purchased license, and also how to determine in advance that a specific system is unsuitable for installing the application.

If the diagnostic data shows that the Installation ID changes after an Insider Preview update, there is probably nothing that we can do to prevent this. In that case, the appropriate solution would be to use a regular released version of Windows for a system where stable Magic RDS operation is required.
