A license key must be registered and activated for your computer to unlock the full functionality of NumXL (i.e., professional) during the trial period or permanently. If you choose not to activate, NumXL will continue to run but in a restricted mode.
Using the License Manager program, you can activate your product license key during installation and/or at any time.
1. Launching the Activation Process
At the end of the installation process, the program will ask you if you wish to register and activate your key. This is an optional step, and you may skip it. Please remember that until you register your key, NumXL will pop up a reminder message box every time you launch Microsoft Excel.
You can run the installer program at any time after installation and launch the license key activation process. The installer program can be found in the Start Menu on your system (e.g., Start --> Programs --> NumXL). For Windows 8, there are no program groups, so use the search function to find the NumXL License Manager.
2. Activation Methods
Two separate methods exist to activate your license key: Direct connection and manual activation.
Option 1: (Direct Connection Activation)
In this case, you'll need a live internet connection to access our central repository. There will be no information transmitted from your machine except for what you authorize.
The program displays the license key and user information on file using the direct connection method. You modify any of these values. All information will remain on your local machine unless you're going to send it to us by checking the checkbox on the screen. Once you have made your changes, click "Next" to finalize the key activation process.
Option 2: (Manual Activation)
Please choose this method if you have an activation code and wish to enter it manually.
To activate your machine's license, click the "Get Activation Code" button. This will launch your browser and open the activation wizard on our website,
On the webpage, enter the license key, Host ID, and e-mail into the form, and click the "submit" button.
Upon successful activation, the activation form generates and displays the activation code. Please note that the activation code corresponds to the license key and the computer (Host ID) you specified earlier.
Please select and copy the activation code, then paste it into the License Manager's activation code field. Click on Next.
Finally, the program records the registration information on your local machine and presents you with a summary page. Click "Finish" to exit the activation.
Comments
