Difference between alternative license and original license
• Alternative license (non-original): one-time payment, more economical, for life, with direct installation and activation to the device, does not use an account or subscription.

Note: These licenses are not transferable; once installed/activated on one device, it only works on that same device and cannot be transferred to another.
