To manually create a Serial Number switch to the TAB Keys, Serial Number

 

 

 

A Serial Number can be created with different options.

 

Number of days until Unlock Key has to be used

If an activation by e-mail, fax or phone is used, there is a time difference between applying the Serial Number key and sending the Unlock Key. To allow the customer to use the product after applying the Serial Number, add a few days (typically 2-5 days) which are included in the Serial Number.

 

 

Number of days until full version expires

If you selected the license option: Time limited version after activation is done then the day value has a different meaning. You can either define:

 

•Number of days until the full version expires - the time counter starts when the user types in the Serial Number

•Expiry Date when the full version expires

 

 

 

Number of Computers/Users/Licenses

If a network license is used (more then 1 license per PC / user / concurrent user), the number of PCs / users / concurrent users can be defined in the Serial Number. If the user buys later more licenses, send him an Additional Key.

 

 

This value overwrites the existing value in the license. If you have an evaluation version with 5 users and the Serial Number includes 1 user, this results in a license for one user after applying the Serial Number.

 

For a single user installation always set this value to 1.

 

For a USB flash drive license the number of Computers defines, on how many PCs the USB flash drive can be attached.

 

Number of desired Serial Numbers

Either generate one key per customer or generate a complete key list with hundreds of keys. For details see Create a Key List.
