Licensing Reality 5.3 SP2

If you are upgrading from Reality 5.3.x to 5.3 SP2, the new License Manager version 1.4 will be installed silently and will require PC reactivation. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact our support department.

With the Reality 5.3, we have introduced a unified tool, the Zero Density License Manager.

The Zero Density License Manager installation begins after the Reality 5.3 installation process is finished. See Installing Reality 5.3 SP2.

To utilize the License Manager, your Engine must support Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0.
