Introduction

Product activation is a license validation procedure required by proprietary computer software programs. When the trial version of a software has expired (after a certain period), it is necessary to start the product activation process. To activate a software you must obtain a license first. When the trial period is expired you will not be able to use the software unless you activate it. You can get your activation code by purchasing a software license from a vendor company. In most cases you can choose from various licenses in order to meet your requirements.

After you had started the licensing process and have paid for the chosen license, the vendor sends you your activation code. This code is unique and it will register your software in our system. You will need to type this code into the window appearing when you start running the program after trial period expired.
