can anyone explain how one can keep the program activated without going online to reactivate? i can't seem to do it and need to to use it in vmware, i explort the dat file and make a copy of the setting file, then i copy them to my ntlite folder in my vmware machine, import and it always wants to activate again.

Hi,

when it comes to virtual machines, they usually randomize the network adapter MAC address, so make sure to set that at static.
Best is to reuse the same VM, just reformat it when needed.
Let me know if you have any issues, best is to contact me over the email about this topic.

Thanks.
