Activation: key basic principles
- At the left bottom corner of the License or Protection Manager
there is a button to switch the interface language to English.
- For activation, a
one-off connection is made with the activation server: http://activation.esdnow.com [port 80]. If you want, you can
include or except this link in your proxy server or firewall settings.
- To activate, you always need a
user account, an email address and a password.
This means you always have to create a user account first.
- You can enter an email address and receive your password via ‘License
Manager’ (local activation screen) or via the web page for license
management. If you have not received a message within 5 minutes, check if
the message can be found in the ‘unsolicited email’ folder. If you have
not received any email at all, enter your email address again and click on
‘Retrieve password’.
- You can change your
password via http://sso.esdnow.com/portal. Select ‘Settings - Change
password’ after logging in.
- A license (activation of
a PC, client or server) is linked to a single user account (e.g. created by a
license or application manager). A license can never be linked to two user
accounts.
- The license will also be
linked to one or more computer IDs. The maximum number of computer IDs is decided
when the license is purchased and can be extended, if necessary.
- Once an activation code has been used for
activation, the option ‘Activate again or update activation automatically via internet’ or
downloading a 'license file' via the web page for license management
will suffice for later activation on a different computer with the same
activation code.
In other words: after the first activation, the license only needs to be
downloaded.
- The license administrator will determine whether user account data (email
address and password) is given to other users. A different user can use a
user account to activate one or more PCs and consume licenses that way.
- If a ‘license file’ has been deleted by accident, it can be easily
retrieved using the option ‘Activate again or update activation automatically via internet’ or
via the web page for license management. You will not use up any licenses
if you do this on the same PC that was activated before.
- Activation/reactivation requires (local) administration rights (‘local
admin’ rights). To use the application, you only need limited user rights.
- If there is a demo period, no more than one user can use the demo license
on the same PC at any one time. A different user on the same PC will have
no rights to the demo license.
