 +**License Information:** Optitrack licenses never expire, but they are only good for software that was already released at the time of purchase. Our most recent license renewal was in December 2016, so any software that was released up until that time is available (i.e. up to Motive 1.10). Every license is associated with a unique USB dongle that must be plugged into the PC while using the software. Please see below for the information associated with our most current license.
