You will need to launch the Astute Manager on a regular basis (at least once every 3 days, but we recommend daily) to ensure the plugins remain activated.
If you wish to transfer to a different computer, simply log out of the Astute Manager on the previous computer and log in on the new machine. The licensing will follow automatically. You can keep the plugins installed on both (or more) computers, but computers not actively logged into the Astute Manager will deactivate.
