It is also possible to register the program on a computer without an Internet connection (for instance a laptop or a second computer). To do this you have to find the hardware key of the computer not connected to the Internet.

 

Start the program and select the option „Activate Offline“ from the user menu.

 

 

After entering the serial number the program displays your computer’s hardware key.

 

Make a note of this hardware key, and then use a computer with an Internet connection to access the web page:

Enter the hardware key and the security code. The web page will then give you an activation key, which you should carefully make a note of. Enter the key and the security code (here SDGX) in the activation menu of your computer without an Internet connection and click on OK.

 

If you have entered the details correctly your program will be successfully activated.
