No more activations allowed

현준구 | Last updated: Aug 08, 2022 03:46PM UTC

'No more activations allowed' I need to install Burp pro on VDI(Manual activation due to company policy) to work remotely. Can I get support? Last time I asked the same and got the answer "We've added an additional activation to your license." but my Local PC license was reset. I re-entered my license key to Local PC and Again 'No more activations allowd' on VDI. Please support???? Is it because of manual activation?

Hi, To give you an overview of how the licensing works for Burp Professional please read the below. Each installation of Burp Professional needs to be activated in order to use the software. Each Burp Professional license comes with a few activations in order to allow our users to install and use Burp on more than one machine, by default. These activations are, however, finite and will run out if you are frequently trying to activate Burp. What would have happened last time is that you were given an additional activation which you then used up on your local PC. Just to clarify the scenario further, when using your VDI does the desktop that you access reset each time you access it or is there any persistence in terms of the applications installed and the file system?

1. Reset each time - Nope. 2. File system persistence - Yes. Thanks for your reply.

I have a same problem. I changed the operating system and when activating the same message remains, how can I reactivate again?
