The license includes a number of properties in clear text for informational purposes. The same properties are also embedded in the encrypted section below the dashed line. CopyMove reads and verifies the properties from the encrypted section. Modifying the properties in clear text has no effect. Modifying the encrypted section will invalidate the license. The following table describes the purpose of the different license properties.
