Purchased Licenses shown as temporary

Purchased Licenses shown as temporary

As HOFA-College student, you may be given temporary licenses for the duration of your course. If you then decide to buy the HOFA Plugins for lifetime use, it may happen that an expiration date is still displayed in the HOFA-Plugins Manager.

That is not a problem, because the purchased licenses are still present in your account, but the licenses on your device have not been updated yet. You can switch from the temporary to the permanent licenses by deactivating and then reactivating the licenses, as shown here and here. The permanent licenses should now be active.

Note, that until the temporary licenses expire, you have access to both the temporary and the permanent licenses. Since you are given 2 licenses for every product you own, you can use up to 4 licenses in that time.
