Software Activation
After you download your Altova product software, you can activate it using either a free evaluation key or a purchased permanent license key.
| • | Free evaluation key. When you first start the software after downloading and installing it, the Software Activation dialog will pop up. In it is a button to request a free evaluation key-code. Enter your name, company, and e-mail address in the dialog that appears, and click Request Now! The evaluation key is sent to the e-mail address you entered and should reach you in a few minutes. Now enter the key in the key-code field of the Software Activation dialog box and click OK to start working with your Altova product. The software will be unlocked for a period of 30 days. |
| • | Permanent license key. The Software Activation dialog contains a button to purchase a permanent license key. Clicking this button takes you to Altova's online shop, where you can purchase a permanent license key for your product. There are two types of permanent license: single-user and multi-user. Both will be sent to you by e-mail. A single-user license contains your license-data and includes your name, company, e-mail, and key-code.A multi-user license contains your license-data and includes your company name and key-code. Note that your license agreement does not allow you to install more than the licensed number of copies of your Altova software on the computers in your organization (per-seat license). Please make sure that you enter the data required in the registration dialog exactly as given in your license e-mail. |
| Note: | When you enter your license information in the Software Activation dialog, ensure that you enter the data exactly as given in your license e-mail. For multi-user licenses, each user should enter his or her own name in the Name field. |
The Software Activation dialog can be accessed at any time by clicking the Help | Software Activation command.
Order Form
When you are ready to order a licensed version of the software product, you can use either the Order license key button in the Software Activation dialog (see previous section) or the Help | Order Form command to proceed to the secure Altova Online Shop.
Registration
The first time you start your Altova software after having activated it, a dialog appears asking whether you would like to register your product. There are three buttons in this dialog:
| • | OK: Takes you to the Registration Form |
| • | Remind Me Later: Pops up a dialog in which you can select when you wish to be next reminded. |
| • | Cancel: Closes the dialog and suppresses it in future. If you wish to register at a later time, you can use the Help | Registration command. |
Check for Updates
Checks with the Altova server whether a newer version than yours is currently available and displays a message accordingly.
