After having been leaking Chronivac CD-Roms for gods sake to random people with a USB 1.0 and an outdated emitter someone in Transdiem decided that they were just losing way too much money over 2 decades. So they let a small department make an online user interface that would work as an .exe, .apk, or on certain browsers. Finally they got both a server and a monetization model. There'd essentially be 2 accounts for a Chronivac user. The user account which the user set a username and password to and a "soul" account. When a Chronivac scans a living thing a soul account is generated inside the user account. There can only be a single soul account per soul, and the only way to change someone is to have their soul account in your user account. Then with a single more detail in the user account Transdiem got their monetization method that didn't involve using the Chronivacs themselves to amass fortunes. Each user account was able to mark a single soul account as who they are. Once this is done the account can only be accessed by the soul account being... but what if your soul account is already owned by someone else's user account? Well you can buy it off of Transdiem! Of course if you bought a soul account that wasn't yours this would essentially soft lock your user account so there was no way this could be abused.
It wouldn't soon be lost that Transdiem was giving away Chronivacs for free and then charging people who weren't early adopters for the right of bodily autonomy...but who said Transdiem were at all ethical? Heck with the amount of lobbyists Transdiem had it wasn't like any government would even think of creating laws to hamper a Chronivac.
That all said the Chronivac was till the same old Chronivac. Only being able to change living things... Although the 20 foot range changed to a 20 foot range of any system running a Chronivac. Although this had the slight downside that the Chronivac software only worked with an internet connection of some sort. If wifi was down or something then you were just stuck the way you were.
