Regular Validation:
IDS must communicate with the License Server on a regular basis to validate the license. A validation automatically occurs at each start-up when IDS is connected to the internet. When IDS is not connected to the internet a validation cannot occur. Therefore, any PC with IDS needs to be connected to the internet at least every 29 days. Failure to validate every 30 days will cause the license to become invalid and disable functionality within IDS.
I think if you are running an earlier version it will work. Ours at work are all licensed separate through ford. I would be very suspicious of any of the knock offs.
