Differences between alternate license and original license

This information is included so that the customer clearly understands what type of license they are acquiring and what functions to expect based on the chosen option.

Alternate license: This is a non-original, one-time payment license with no monthly or annual subscriptions. It allows functional use of the program to organize music, analyze tracks, prepare playlists, set cues, work loops, export to USB, and manage DJ libraries from the device where it is installed. It does not include official updates, full online services, official streaming, official Pioneer DJ support, downloads from a personal account, or linking to personal or corporate accounts of the manufacturer. Linking accounts, manually updating, or modifying the program may affect activation and require additional technical assistance at a cost.

Original license: This is the official manufacturer's option. It includes access to full functions according to the contracted plan, official account, online services, available updates, official hardware compatibility, licensed functions, and official support. Its cost is usually higher and it may operate under a license, subscription, Creative/Professional plan, or modality defined by Pioneer DJ / AlphaTheta.

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

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