The Basics about Workflow

Depending on the kind of activation you choose, the workflow is different.

The predefined workflow is as follows:

•	Create the project and define the settings

•	Create the files for distribution - Deploy

•	Provide an evaluation version (also non-evaluation version is possible)

•	Customer can test within the time limited period or buy the software (buy link available if defined)

•	Customer buys the software and gets the Serial Number Key. The key is unique and is the 'proof of purchase'.

•	The Serial Number sets a trigger that enables activation via web (online), e-mail, fax or phone (activation methods can be defined)

•	Online Activation – the Serial Number is transferred to the Web Activation Server, it is validated if the Serial Number was already used or not and copy protection is enabled, time limitation is deleted (to get an unlimited full version). The customer can work instantly with the application

•	Activation by E-Mail, fax and phone requires manual activation by sending the installation code (hardware ID) to you and sending back an Unlock Key

•	The application is now copy protected and without time limitation (depending on the settings)
