The Activation Key

Using an Activation Key you can send your users a complete license file or activate/deactivate their modules giving you the possibility to change a license per

Phone

Fax

Email

SMS

'Snail' Mail

The users register the Activation Key via the License Viewer. It is a precondition that the users must have a valid license file before they can apply an Activation Key.

You can change multiple properties of a module or only one (e.g. add 3 users or deactivate the demo version). All properties can be changed except for:

Name of the manufacturer

 

Name of the customer

 

Name of the module

 

Changing a module type – e.g. from counter to user

 

Adding a new module

 

Deleting a module

You cannot add a new module to an already existing license file with an Activation Key. This is only possible with a DLL method.

The Activation Keys of Licence Protector are secure:

They can only be used once for a license file (a complete history of all Activation Keys is stored in the license file and can be displayed with the License Viewer)

 

If a license file uses the Installation Code (e.g. Volume ID) as Copy Protection, the Installation Code will be included in the Activation Key. This key can be used only with that specific license file

 

You can combine the Activation Key with the license file ID. This key can be used only with that specific license file

 

If you don’t combine the Activation Key with the installation Id or the license ID, it can be used with every license file.

This mechanism ensures that an Activation Key (e.g. adding 3 users) can be used only once AND only with one specific license file.

 

If you choose the option Online validation required, the Activation Key is sent to the Activation Server, before it can be applied. The key is stored there and it is ensured that the Activation Key can be used only once.

 

Note: The user must have an Internet connection to apply the key.
