Whats the difference between master and slave tools??
As a master user, the files you read are clear. This gives you the option to work with multiple file providers, or even do the tuning yourself. As a slave, only your master will be able to decrypt your files. This means that you are bounded to work with one file provider.
-
Can I upgrade my slave tool to master?
Yes, a slave tool can be upgraded to master for a fee. The upgrade is available through your master. Note that the approval from your current master is mandatory and can only be puchased through them.
