How to activate and deactivate your product

Activation 

Activation is required to move your product from trial mode to a licensed version.  Activation is completed by running the program, entering your purchased 20 digit license code, and activating via the Internet or email. You are allowed up to 30 days of trial use before you are required to activate the software.

1 - Any time you launch the software you will have the option to Continue Trial or Activate (unless the trial time is over). Choose Activate.

1a - Your computer's security system may ask for your password before the license tool opens. Enter the password you use to log in to your computer.

2 - When the activation screen opens, enter your 20 digit license code and click Next.

Note: Older product versions may use a 12 letter license code.

If you are not connected to the internet, follow the instructions for a manual activation.
