When this license code with the MaxActivations (Limit Machines To) setting is validated, the license service returns a new license code which has all the same settings as the original license, except:
- The new license is machine-locked to the machine from which the activation took place. This ensures that the newly returned license only works on that machine.
- The new license has its MaxActivations (Limit Machines To) setting removed. This ensures that the next time the license is loaded, it is not necessary to communicate with the license service to activate the license again, since the license is already machine-locked.

The reason the CryptoLicense.GetMaxActivations() method returns 32766 is because you are accessing that property AFTER validation the license - in effect you are querying the properties of the new license code returned by the license service. As described above, this license code does not have the MaxActivations setting.

To get the MaxActivations setting of the original license code, load it into a CCryptoLicense object, and then use the CCryptoLicense.GetMaxActivations() method.
