Activating a License

How Activation Works

Activation binds a license to a specific device or domain. Once activated, the license can be validated by the software product to confirm you're entitled to use it.

Activation Methods

Native Applications

For desktop or mobile apps, activation typically requires a hardware ID (HWID). The app generates a unique fingerprint of your device and sends it along with your license key to our activation endpoint. If the license allows it, the device is registered and the app receives a signed activation token.

Web Applications

For web-based products, activation is tied to a hostname or domain. When the software checks your license, it includes the domain where it's running. Your license must include that domain in its allowed list.

Activation Limits

Each license has a maximum number of allowed activations, configured by the seller. You can view your current activation count and remaining slots from your dashboard. If you've reached the limit, you'll need to deactivate an existing device before activating a new one.

Offline Activation

If the product supports offline mode, you can activate without an internet connection by using a pre-generated activation file provided by the seller.
