    Hello,

    I was last active a couple of years ago and my simulator was collecting dust in an corner.
    Now it's time to maybe give it to a friend so he can build a new rig with all the Hardware like Motors, controller etc.

    As far as i am aware in the past you could purchase a licence for simtools with coins from the forum or it was free. I did not remember.
    After reading, if I understand correctly this is gone and you need to purchase a licence now.

    Is there any way to test if my hardware is still working as intended before buying the licence?
    As my friend is a student with less money, he can only afford a licence, but no additional hardware. So it would be nice to know if the hardware tha i will gift to him works before he buys the licence.

    Or is it possible to reuse my licence i got back in the past when i applyed for a free one by building my sim? The problem is i didn't have the pc anymore and dont know where this licence could be.
