Protection using Online Validation
To use this option the Add-On module Activation Server is necessary.
If you choose the option Online validation required, the workflow for applying a key is as follows:
• | The user needs an Internet connection to apply a key |
• | The key is transferred to the Activation server and is stored there |
• | If the key was already used (it was stored on the server), the key can not be applied |
Using this option you can create Activation Keys without knowing the license file ID or the installation code from the user and it is ensured that the key can only be used once.

Note
• | You can allow to using the Activation Key multiple times on different machines by changing the number of allowed activations for this key in the Activation Server Administration Interface, screen View and Modify |
• | You can allow to using the Activation Key multiple times on the same machine - see chapter Allow Reinstallation / multiple usage of an Activation Key. |
