Top 7 - Q&A List
Q.1) Is installing HTTPS certificate necessary? If I don't install it, will my BioStar 2 still work?
It will work without installing HTTPS Certificate. but, several features such as Cloud would be not available to access. So, we recommend installing HTTPS certificate.
Q.2)If the customer's Server/ PC/OS/Hard Disk crashes, then while reinstalling can the Customer use the same license key?
Yes, you can use the same license but you will need to ask us to reactivate it.
Q.3) Can you use a DNS name instead of an IP address in the URL? What if you have a purchased certificate from a certificate authority, can you use that certificate instead of downloading one from BioStar?
You can have your private certificate and make the hostname instead of entering an IP address.
