HWID Reset

Before you reset

This page resets the machine binding used for license validation.

Limit: 3 resets per month (automatic)
Recommended: Close the manager before changing hardware
Tip: After a reset, relaunch the app and validate your license again

Why HWID exists

The HWID system helps prevent unauthorized use while keeping license validation simple for legitimate users.

Important: If you change the HWID on the same machine currently running the Server Manager, the app may show a license error until the reset is completed.
