Product Registration

Software products are protected by an Authorization Scheme, which requires the Activation of a valid License or using a dongle protection unit. The Registration and Activation Process is performed via two different Methods, depending on the Internet Connectivity of the Computer on which your Product is installed.

A valid serial number is required!In order to register and activate your product you must have a valid serial number. You will find it either on the installation media which comes with the delivered product or you need to purchase it. Please contact your software vendor us to obtain a valid license and corresponding serial number.

Administrator rights are required on Windows 10 and Windows 11machines!The restrictive file access policies on computers running Windows 10 and Windows 11do not allow the standard user to perform the product registration/activation. To successfully register and activate the product, the software has to be started with Administrator Privileges. Once the registration/activation has been performed the software will run normally in the standard user environment.
