What is the difference between Registration and Authorization?
Registration is the process of declaring ownership of your copy of Finale family notation software. Once you have registered your serial number, you own it forever. You never have to register it again.

Authorization is the act when you unlock the Finale family notation software on your computer so that the print and save functions will not be disabled 30 days after installation. You need to do this each time you upgrade your software version, update your computer or re-format your hard drive.

(This can be on two different computers if the software is only installed on a single operating system on each computer or on a single computer if you install the software on two different operating systems on the same computer.)
