LicenceType

By default, the system uses **cloud licensing** (requires server connectivity). It also supports **dongle** and **local licensing** options for offline environments. You can select the appropriate licensing method based on your application type and purchase plan.

## Applying for Local Licensing

To apply for a local licence, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the **Licence Verification Server** section in the backend.
2. Verify that the licence verification server is in a **valid state**.
3. Copy the **machine code** displayed for the licence verification server.
4. Send the machine code to **Parallel Cloud Commerce** to generate the local licence file.

> **Important:** Local licences are permanently bound to the server on which they are first activated. They **cannot** be transferred or reused on a different server.

## Resetting a Cloud Licence Code

If you need to migrate or reassign a cloud licence to a new server, use one of the following methods based on your licence source:

- **Developer Platform Licence**
  Go to the Developer Console and click **"Reset License Code"** in the licence code overview.

- **Parallel Cloud Commerce Licence**
  Contact the Parallel Cloud Commerce support team directly to request a licence code reset.

> **Note:** When using cloud licensing, ensure that the server has a stable connection to the internet at all times.
