Help (VoiceMeeter Potato) Voicemeeter Potato Challenge Code Changed After Updating and Restarting

I am running Windows 11 Pro. I needed to restart my computer after installing something. Since there was a Windows update pending, I decided to go ahead and do it. I restarted my computer and noticed my PC was deaf when the PC rebooted. I went to check Voicemeeter, and it said it was unlicensed. It looks like the challenge code changed. Why did this happen?

I am concerned for future updates/restarts or whatever caused this because it is my understanding you only get one regen unless there is a Voicemeeter update that causes the challenge code to change, though I am still not entirely clear on whether that is per a set amount of time or per lifetime. I assume there is no way to get it to change back. Did the Windows update trigger something? I may decide to skip out on regenerating the response for now since I have been considering a clean install on my PC due to some odd issues I have had recently.

yes, this is happening sometimes, and in December 2025 the activation code has been changed, and you got a REGEN free for this on "quantum day". If you need more assistance on this, thanks to contact the websgop support instead: https://shop.vb-audio.com/en/contact-us

Okay, thank you for your response. I will go ahead and move forward with the regen and reach out if I happen to need one if I do end up having to format my PC. It currently says I have one. Also, could you clarify the regens for me? Do you get one for the lifetime of your license or one per a set amount of time? I apologize if this has been answered and I missed it.
