- Official Licensing: ElsaWin is licensed per workshop, not per PC. Most licenses allow installation on one "server" and access via network. Running a VM counts as one installation.
- VM Cloning: Do not clone a VM with an activated ElsaWin installation to multiple machines without additional licenses. The software uses hardware IDs (which change when you move a VM to new host hardware) and may deactivate.
- Anti-piracy: Older cracked versions are common, but they are unstable in VMs and often contain malware. Legitimate ElsaWin VM work should use a valid subscription (typically €800–1500/year for a single workshop).
