Expiration and offline use
How long an SC Key stays valid and what works without a connection.
Every SC Key has a start date and an expiration date. Your contract end date is the latest a key can expire.
- SonicCloud works offline until the key expires.
- New installations must activate while seats are available.
- Renewal uses a new authorized transaction, which needs a connection.
- Test clock changes and recovery scenarios during your evaluation. See the evaluation checklist.
