Tips for selecting a binding

Considerations when selecting a binding from the Validate Activation table:

The default selection is usually the preferred binding.
Fixed devices, such as a hard disk drive or hardware network adapter serial numbers, are suitable choices for binding. If the computer has more than one hard disk drive, only the binding for the drive that is used to boot from will appear in the Binding Selection dialog box.
When using a laptop in a docking station with a network adapter, do not use the network adapter as a binding. The software will not run when the laptop is undocked. Use a binding that is always present on the laptop, such as the disk serial number.
