XStudio PostMajik requires a valid registration key to enable full use of the product. The registration key contains the product serial number and is unique to each PC on which XStudio PostMajik is installed. The registration key also controls the number of stations that can be actively posting text and RDS information. The client application, PostMajik Client, does not require registration and can be used separately, if desired, on multiple PC's.
If no registration is entered or available, XStudio PostMajik will run for a limited amount of time each time the PC is started. Until XStudio PostMajik is registered, some features and functionality that should not affect your evaluation of the product are disabled. Most notably, only one station can be actively posting text and RDS information. Additional stations will not be active until you complete registration of XStudio PostMajik.
