Activation:

To unlock the full functionality of the software, you have to activate your copy with the license key received at the time of purchase.

Usage:

• Select the Activation item,
• enter the unique license key into the input field,
• then click on the confirmation button.

Requirements: An active internet connection is required for the first activation for the verification of the key with our servers. Result: Following the activation, every professional function becomes available, and the data of the license appear in the management window.

Deactivation:

The Deactivation function is essential if you would like to transfer the license to another computer.

Usage:

Before the removal of the software or moving to a new PC, select the Deactivation item. This process releases the license from the current hardware, and returns it to the license pool.

Why it is necessary: Since every license key is bound to a defined number of simultaneous installations, the deactivation of the software on the old machine ensures that you can successfully activate it on a new machine.
