BIKE2GAME ACTIVATION
====================

This licensed edition includes one seven-day trial per PC. After the trial,
an activation code is required.

When starting a trial or activating a license, Bike2Game sends the following
information to the Bike2Game activation service over HTTPS:

- A one-way SHA-256 identifier derived from the Windows MachineGuid.
- The Bike2Game application version.
- The activation code, only when the customer enters one.

The raw Windows MachineGuid is never transmitted. The activation code is
stored by the server only as a SHA-256 hash and is not saved in Bike2Game's
local license file.

After a trial starts or a license is activated, Bike2Game stores a
server-signed entitlement token in:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Bike2Game\license.json

Bike2Game checks the entitlement when it starts. The trial expiration is fixed
on the server and deleting local files does not restart it. If the activation
service is temporarily unavailable, a valid cached token permits offline use
until its signed expiration.

Moving the license to another PC may require the seller to reset its recorded
activation. When the original PC is available, use License > Deactivate this
PC first; this releases its activation immediately. Trials cannot be
transferred between PCs.
