Thanks for the reply, I'm contacting "local dataton premium" again.

I'm pretty sure the license key is corrupt. and I request a change by paying the hardware fee of the wibu key. My problem is not software update.

Hello Dear Dataton Authorities,

is there any place you see wrong in what I wrote? You disagree, I can understand. I expect you to at least give a logical explanation

Kind regards.

Yes, you can return the broken key and buy a replacement key which will cost you something around 100 EUR. The best is probably to contact your local Premium Partner.

Thank you for your response. The license key of the watchpax I have is not working. My local Premium Partner talks to Dataton and says that they do not accept the exchange and I can get a new license with 20% discount. I don't think this is a proper approach. In addition, Dataton sells these products by writing "Built-in WATCHOUT license" or "WATCHOUT included" when selling. I would like to hear from Dataton why the change could not be made.

I also want to point out that I purchased the Watchpax as V5 and upgraded to V6.

Thank you.

The manufacturer warranty period for 3150 Dataton WATCHOUT License (USB key) is for 2 years. Warranty does not cover physical or electrical damage.

my question was; Can I replace my key with an expired warranty, physical or electrical failure, only by paying a hardware fee?

Partially true. 

You are correct, as long as you return the defective key, you do not have to pay the fee for the WATCHOUT software. However, all licensed components included in WATCHOUT (mpeg decoder, AC3 decoder, etc) are charged by the physical key, those licensing fees are not transferable from one key to another. Dataton must pay those fees. Even Wibu, the hardware vendor for the key, adds licensing fees for their software protection system. So the cost is more than the simple hardware cost - there are licensing fees that must be paid by Dataton on every key Dataton enables for WATCHOUT. 

To the best of my knowledge, the current fee charged by Dataton for a damaged key swap is below cost. i.e. Dataton underwrites damaged key replacement.

very good, one last question. Is there a warranty period regarding the license? Can I have this exchange done after the warranty period has expired, by paying the hardware cost?

I'm asking to confirm. If my license key fails and I return the defective key to you, I only have to pay the wibu key hardware fee. I don't need to pay license fee. is this true?

May I know your procedure for replacing broken keys as hardware?
