Differences between alternative license and original license

This information is included so that the customer clearly knows what type of license they are acquiring and what features they can expect depending on the chosen option.

Alternative license: is a non-original license, one-time payment and without monthly or annual subscriptions. It allows functional use of the program to create tablatures, edit scores, play songs, save projects, and practice music from the device where it is installed. It does not include official updates, full online services, downloads from a personal account, additional official soundbanks, or linking to the manufacturer's personal accounts. Linking accounts, manually updating, or modifying the program may affect activation and require additional technical assistance at a cost.

Original license: is the official manufacturer's option. It includes access to full features according to the contracted plan, an official account, online services, available updates, officially acquired compatible content, and official support. Its cost is usually higher and may work under a one-time payment, upgrade, subscription, or a plan defined by the manufacturer.

For business, corporate, government, or institutional use, Luctecno recommends original licenses, as they are the appropriate option to comply with best practices, audits, formal support, and more demanding professional needs.

Note: These licenses are linked to the computer where they are installed and are not transferable.
