SAM Suite constantly loses activation for World Jetways, Airport Vehicles and Follow Me

[intelfx]

I am using SAM Suite (version 1.4.1) on a Windows 10 machine with X-Plane 11.51 (installed via Steam). I have also bought licenses to the three commercial addons distributed via SAM Suite (World Jetways, Airport Vehicles, Follow Me). The problem is, shortly after I install the addons and activate them, they lose activation (reported as "Unlicensed" in the SAM Suite and not working in the simulator). The addons work fine immediately after I reinstall and reactivate them, but fast forward some days and some reboots and it's all over again.

I would like some help in resolving this. The email I used for all three licenses is intelfx@intelfx.name — I presume someone could take a look into the activation server and find out what exactly changes between activation attempts.

The latest SAM Suite is 1.4.2. Try a clean install of SAM Suite and see what happens. I recall I had issues with this also on a previous version. Hope that helps.

Check out the "Deactivation after reboot" section.

Thanks. After a few weeks, this appears to have worked.
What exactly does this setting do? Do I have a somehow broken setup if it needs this tweak to work correctly?

This activation option is because you may have disabled your onboard network card in your bios just like me.

Or that you are not connected to the internet with a cable, but only with WiFi.
