A prospective subscriber wonders how activation works with dynamically assigned IP addresses, where they may have a new IP address every time they start up their machine.
No problem! Activation is not tied to any IP address, but rather to the physical machine. Once your machine is activated, it will work from any IP address that can connect to a standard https (TCP port 443) web page. Also, from such a working IP address, if you click the red "turbo" button and wait for the confirming page, then (for 30 days) you don't need to be connected to the internet at all -- you can view any downloaded NR PDF files locally on your machine, or you can view the files through our web portal using a completely standard http (port 80) browser connection. None of this requires any new activation or deactivation after the original one.
