Installing a Standalone License

The Stand-alone license ties 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.

As soon as your order is authorized, we will e-mail you with the license code. On this page, we explain how to install and activate a Stand-alone license.
