License Activation Management
License Activation Management
Licenses need to be activated online so the machine that is being licensed will need to be connected to the internet for this to be completed.
There is a 7-day grace period for this to happen. Subscription licenses (SUB) need to be checked online every 7 days. All other licenses need to be re-checked online every 30-90 days. This means the machine can be offline in between these check intervals.
Troubleshooting
If you suddenly get a "Trial expired" or "Max number of activations reached" error you can deactivate any previous activations in the 'My Downloads & Licenses' section in your user account.
If you are being told that the activation is required and an internet connection is required, make sure the machine is connected to the internet and the normal https port 443 is open so the machine is able to connect to the activation servers.
