*The software uses activation for license regulation. If you are not connected to the Internet you will need to manually activate the license periodically. If you choose to install on a virtual machine (VM), due to the nature of how virtual environments behave, activation is required every time the software is run.

** Note that most scanners require a driver from the manufacturer. Not all scanners have drivers available for the latest operating systems. Check with your manufacturer to see what operating systems they support.
