License Activation

Overview​

License activation is the process of registering your purchased license to make it available in your actual development environment.

info

All licenses support offline environments. They work normally without an internet connection and do not require periodic online authentication.

4-Step License Activation Process for SDK Products​

  1. Initial Setup (Init) - Initialize the license program on first run
  2. Generate Locking Code - Generate hardware-specific code using the Generate button
  3. License Activation - Activate license and download file using the generated code
