Last time I installed it -- a couple of weeks ago -- you couldn't open
the console without inputting a registration code. Perhaps you can use
it at medium level for 90 days but if you want full protection, you

Up to 60 days for first registration , then yearly .

Yeah, but I would call that the activation, not a "re-activation".
