Generating an Unlock Key is only necessary if the customer registers via e-mail, fax or phone. It unlocks the version by activating the copy protection. To get a better idea of the workflow, see Basics about Workflow.
The Unlock Key is either generated
•With Copy Protection
or if the Activation Server is used
•Within the Activation Server Administration Interface
If copy protection is not necessary, select Unlocking without Copy Protection instead.
The customer fills out the screen for E-Mail activation or Fax Activation and sends to you an E-Mail or Fax with the activation request or calls you to activate by phone. You use the installation codes provided to generate an Unlock Key.
