Protection Against License Manipulation 
 
HiPath License Management guarantees protection against any manipulation of the licenses. This includes, for example
 •   editing a license file
 •   changing the system time
 •   multiple read-in of licenses
 •   extension of the grace period
When a Grace Period Configuration File (GPCF) is created, a flag is set in the system CDB and the Customer License Agent (CLA) to indicate that a GPCF file was created. This ensures that the 30-day period cannot be extended and the GPCF file cannot be regenerated.
To guarantee the security and consistency of the product licenses generated, changes to the system time on the PC of an installed Customer License Agent (CLA) must not exceed one day.  
If the system clock is reset by more than one day, the Customer License Agent stops functioning and cannot be reactivated. The full functionality of the CLA on this PC can only be restored by means of a repair or a reinstallation (see the License Agent Installation Manual).
