Activation Server 5

Defines, if product activation is only accepted, when the Serial Number / ID was previously uploaded to the Activation Server 5. It is like a positive list. Only entries, which are already stored in the Activation Server 5 are accepted.  All-In-One Protector makes the validation (e.g. encryption, module number etc.) and sends only valid Serial Numbers to the Activation Server 5.

 

Accepting only uploaded IDs is more security because only IDs / Serial Numbers, which are known to the Activation Server 5, can be used.

 

There are 2 ways to upload:

 

•Upload a single key / ID - see Add a Key on the Activation Server

•Upload a complete keylist / ID-list - see Import

 

 

If you want to use this feature, then CheckActivationKeys and EntryRequired  in the project.config file have to be set to Yes.

 

<CheckActivationKeys>Yes</CheckActivationKeys>

<EntryRequired>Yes</EntryRequired>

 

To allow only uploaded Serial Numbers, this configuration setting has to be used and not AllowKeyRequired. This is due to the fact that a Serial Number performs a product activation and is different from a standard Activation Key.
