Hello,

Thanks for your letter.
Kindly note that the "Spire.PDF Pro Edition Developer subscription" is licensed for use by up to 1 developer and 1 deployment address, which are identified and validated via MAC addresses. When the license is used on machines beyond this limit, it will not be effective, the output file will have the warning messages. We confirmed your current usage has exceeded this limit.
Currently, the server you initially used is still valid, but for the new server, it will not take effect. You can purchase another license, and our OEM type has no restrictions, you can learn more from the link below.

If you have any other questions, just feel free to contact.

Sincerely,
Lisa
