If you purchase the software it comes with a license. You might have to purchase additional licenses if you wish to have multiple users of the software, for example giving access to a company database on several different employees computers.

Depends on your purchase motivation. For life as it exists now....yeah, you need a license to transmit. When the SHTF though....who cares. At that point it becomes a life saving product.

Yes, you can still use the same license. It's encrypted in your BIOS and the change of the storage does not affect that. When you will be installing Windows 8 from the recovery disks that came with the computer, it will pull the product key from the BIOS automatically. It won't even ask you to enter it (you don't know what it is anyway).

If the license for your software didn't expire you can install the software on your new machine and use that license code. If not you'll have to buy new software. You can find it for $22-$25, surf around a bit.

Most licenses do allow you to load on the desktop and laptop at the same time. Since you can't use both at the same time you're still using the single license. As for installing it appears to work fine.

No, but you can't use it until you are properly licensed. Trying to transmit without a license gets you into serious trouble. You will stick out like a sore thumb and you will be caught.

the license does not expire. You can probably upgrade it at some point in the future.

Mine had to be licensed as it had 'Cannon' embossed on it. It has worked fine.

No Majid. The license " in the small print states that three individual license all starting from the time you activate the first product key". You can not bank the individual to one product key.

I believe this upgrade is a single user license (it says so on my box) but you should check with Microsoft.

You shouldn't need a license, at least in the US, as long as you are using it from the water and for water related uses (talking to a harbor, contacting another boat, calling for help is case of an emergency).

Your license would cover any number users on one computer. You can also install it on a second computer, provided it is for one of the original users and isn't used at the same time as the original installation.

No! You don't have to have it but I purchased it. Just for the no-hassle factor.

No. It's illegal to operate this radio without a license on any frequency . Even though it will transmit on frs frequencys. It would be a waste of money to buy this radio.

You should check with your local DMV, however, I believe you will need a drivers license.

No, this is not a controlled or regulated product and so you won't need a license to purchase it. If it ever was, Amazon would've disclosed it.
