Product Activation
Our products are in Demo Mode when you first download them. This allows you to try the software before you decide to buy it. Once you have purchased it, we provide you with an Activation Code (also called a Serial Number or License Key) to remove any Demo Mode limitations.
Activation Code Format
You will recognize the activation code because it will have one of the following two formats.
Our 16-digit codes are numbers and appear in the following arrangement:
7362-8172-1192-5428
7362-8172-1192-5428
Our 27 to 31-digit codes are a combination of letters and numbers and look something like this:
MKFSMAC0120YVW870G210BA27549PK7
We recommend that you use copy and paste to enter these because some letters and numbers can look similar. For additional information on how to copy and paste, see the section below on Avoid Typing Errors by Using Copy and Paste.
