You need the extended license to do any programming. To get the license, you have to sign up for their website forum (free), and generate/download the license, then load it into forscan.

Sign up here.

Can this license be backed up or saved so that you don't have to go through the process if/when moving between computers? Or is it tied to the computer is some way?

It's tied to the computer (hardware ID in Forscan). As mentioned, it's only good for 2 months, but you can just submit for a new license key when it's expired. You can even have multiple licenses under your name at the same time (only needed for multiple computers). The good news is that once your account is active/validated, you don't have to go through that part again. The license generator is instant, so no waiting (other than the time it takes to download & activate it).
