Installation Codes (Hardware IDs)

If you expect, that the user does not have an Internet connect, you can add the 8 digit hardware ID, which was used for copy protection. If the user has an Internet connection, select the option: Online validation required to ensure, that the key cannot be used multiple times.

 

Additional Licenses - Increase Network Licence

If a network license is used (more then 1 license per PC / user / concurrent user) or a counter, the number of PCs / users / concurrent users / counter can be increased or decreased by sending an Activation Key to the customer.

 

his key adds the selected number of licenses to the existing value in the license file. If you have an existing license with 5 users and the  additional license includes 2 users, this results in a license for 7 users after applying the key.

 

Prolong Evaluation Version

The next option is to prolong an existing trial period. Make an Activation Key with:

 

• additional licenses = 0

• either select: Number of days to evaluate or End of Evaluation

Online validation required

If checked, the Activation Key is sent to the Activation Server 6 before it is applied. It is stored in the database. If the Activation Server 6 detects that the key was already used, it will block the key.
