The Activation Process

Most consumers who purchase a single-user product will install and activate it immediately, although activation can be completed any time within the trial period after installation.

Products must be activated within the trial period or they will no longer run.

The activation process is most often completed over the Internet and takes just a few seconds.

However, activation by telephone is also available. Either option can be used 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Anonymity and Privacy

Product activation is a completely anonymous and private process for the end user. The intent of activation is to verify a product’s license and nothing more.

Users who wish to receive the benefits from registering their products may provide additional information (such as name, e-mail address, etc.) at their option, but registration is not usually required in order to use the product.

No personally identifiable information is ever requested, collected, or transmitted during activation.

Internet Activation

If the product detects that the computer has a valid Internet connection, it attempts to use Internet activation as its first choice.

The activation server processes this request and, if successful, returns a response message that includes a digital license that only the requesting computer can use.

As soon as this digital license is received, activation is complete and the product can launch and run.
