Paid Version Turned Into Eval -- oopsie

Hi everyone,
new user to Blue Iris. Coming from Hikvision's IVMS, it's amazing.
Here's what I did.... my son was so excited to see the software on my computer, I thought it would be OK to let him install it on his computer,
and gave him my registration code. Seeing we are in the same house, I thought if I turned my computer off,
and he tried it out it on his computer it would be OK. I went to bed, ( my computer was off ) and my son is a night owl, and he had been playing
with the software when I went to bed.
This morning I wake up, turn on the computer, and when I opened Blue Iris, it tells me I'm running an evaluation version. Oh oh !
So I looked up my code, input it and now it's running fine. ( paid version once again )
I'm guessing that even though my computer was off, and we are in the same house, you aren't allowed doing this.
My question, did I put my key code at risk by having my son install the software and input that key on his computer ?
( note - my computer was off while he played with the software )
I just want to be honest with what I did, and don't want to get in trouble with Blue Irish and my key. I wonder if anyone has done this.
Let's say you have 2 computers, and want to use the BI software from time to time on a different computer while the other is off etc...
Anyway, just thought I would put my story and question out there,
Thanks very much for your time.
