Why some thinapped apps still asking serial number when you try to move them to another OS?

Hi all, I noticed that some applications still require a serial number (even if they have been supplied correctly before packaging) when they are moved to another OS?

Iinteresting waiting for an interesting answer question, thak you all.

Short answer:

Because the company that made the software has invested some time to ensure their income...

Long version:

There are various reasons why the serial number can be lost/invalidated. Usually (more common) it is because during the installation, a fingerprint of the system has been filed and the software has detected that the system is no longer one that you've installed the software on. This can be a very simple (as the name of the computer) to the complex (os type, NIC MAC address, CPU ID, a serial... OS) validation. At some point, the software determines: enough is enough, I don't trust it more.

This problem existed before ThinApp or any other virtualization were introduced. Until a few years ago, it was common to "phantom", a role the same image on all systems in a company and system. Microsoft Office XP has been the finest example of an application of all uses and who did not like this mode of distribution. System admins had re - activate all systems in him the original CD.

Other blighters are servers that monitor how system uses what license and "trackers use' preventing you to reset the sandbox (using the account don't match no more on a server/local).

I hope that answers it. There are a lot of reasons, but it is most likely...

Kind regards
