Not being able to use this software after flashing.....sounds like crazy talk...so I did some research.
I was reading the support section I know it says "Hardware" and when we flash it is "Software". After reading it sounds like people need to deactivate before flashing, then reactivate after flashing.
Software License Deactivation:
Note: To transfer your software license to new hardware, first deactivate your current license, then re-activate on new hardware.
