Stand-alone
The Stand-alone licenses tie a given software application to a single machine. This method of licensing requires a machine's unique identifier (SID) to be incorporated in the license activation process. After buying the product, a generic license is sent to you. This license must be installed and activated before you can use the software. In the activation process the license is linked to the hardware.
License Installation
As soon as your order is authorized, we will send to you an e-mail with the license code and links to download the software. On this page, we explain how to install and activate a Stand-alone license.
To install a Stand-alone license, you must:
- Obtain the License Code from the registration e-mail.
- Install the license during the software installation, or later using the License Manager tool.
- Activate your license.
Installation of the Stand-alone license
In the e-mail sent after purchasing the product you will find the license code, in the form of a block of letters and numbers. When you are asked for this code, copy and paste it in the window. Please make sure that you do not include any other text besides the code itself:
If the entered code is valid, press Ok. The license is installed on your computer and you can continue with the installation process. You can also review and activate the license later, using the License Manager tool.
