If you need to activate your software on a computer that doesn't have Internet access, you can activate your software manually. Here are the three steps to the manual activation process:
Notes About Manual Activation
- Valid Serial Number Required: This process illustrated below only works with a valid serial number and matching product key.
- Disable Internet Connection: You need to disable your Internet connection to see the manual activation screens illustrated below. If your computer is connected to the Internet, the software will assume you want to activate your software automatically over the Internet.
- Activation via "Free Trial" mode: If you purchased your software and didn't use it as a Free Trial, you still need to activate your software from the Free Trial screen. Your software will assume you are using it as a trial until it is activated with a valid paid license.
- Activation Codes Sent Via Email: After you complete the Web form to request an Activation Code, it may take up to 48 hours to receive a response via email.
