Got a question. I purchased a permanent license. The links disappeared from my site so I'm pretty sure it's working as expected.
On my license page, it shows one of the Permanent licenses registered to 'localhost' and another as unregistered (not applied anywhere). My main site is townation.com and isn't reflected in either one.
IMHO, this page is sadly lacking in any information about how to manage or use your licenses. Much improvement is needed here.
