07/17/2024

Online slots offer a practical addition to USB tokens if you use HDClone or HDShredder on online systems. On offline systems, you can still use HDClone flexibly with the USB token.

How To Get Started In Just 5 Steps

Step 1: Order one or more online slots in the Miray Online Shop.

Step 2: Once you place your order, the slots will be added to your license during office hours, usually within the same business day. The slot will be instantly ready for use.

Step 3: Once the slots have been added, you will receive an email with a download link. Please use this link to redownload the program package. The online slots will then be instantly ready for use.

Step 4: Start a process. An activation dialog will appear and the online slot will be the new default option. If you need to, you can also connect the USB token at this point.

Step 5: Once the connection to the server has been established, the online slot is reserved for the duration of the initiated process. Afterwards it will be freed up again and will be available for the next process.

One more plus: Even if all online slots are occupied, you can start another process (or several more) and still select online slot activation. The process will then be queued. Once one of the active processes finishes, that online slot will become available and will automatically be used to start the next queued process.

No extra cost for online slots when updating HDClone
If you decide to update your license to a newer version during the annual term of the online slots, they will then automatically apply to the new version without any additional update fees for the online slots.
_______________________________________________________________________________

When the annual term ends
Once the year is up, you can of course renew your online slots for another year.
If you find you no longer need the slots after the year, they will simply be omitted and you can continue to use the license as before with the original activation options.**

*) Online slots require Miray's internet server infrastructure to be held available, they are therefore offered as an optional, annually-based addition to existing licenses. Prepaid multi-year terms are also possible, if interested please contact us.

**) After a term has finished and you decide to not renew the online slot option, you may opt-in to online slots again at a later time. However, the guaranteed renewal price only applies to seamlessly consecutive renewals.

***) When purchasing online slots, "automatic renewal" is preselected due to its price advantage from the second year onward. You can change this selection in the shopping cart.
