They responded to my question.
Hello,
Thank you for your interest in RSS Pro 2011 and the giveaway promotion. The answer to your question is a no and yes. In this specific scenario the license period has already begun for all seats with the first registration of a client by any of the participants in the giveaway. If you purchase a license however, the licensing period does not begin until at least one client under said license is registered. Until that time, the licensing stays in stasis and you could hold a license for 6 months and still have a full 12 months of registered use.

We hope this response has sufficiently answered your questions. If you have any further queries, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions -
