Activation | Transfer License | Register Online | Product Activation and Privacy
What is activation?
Activation is several anonymous, secure, and hassle free steps that authenticates licensed users during the installation process in order to begin using the application. The process verifies that the serial number is legitimate, and has not been activated on more systems than allowed by the Easypano End-User License Agreement (EULA). It does not affect the ability of licensed users to use their software the way they have always done.
What is the difference between trial version and activated version?
The trial version is watermarked with Easypano logo. It is designed for users to have a full feature test before purchase, no grace period. Once you buy the product and activate it, it will become an activated version which removes the watermark restriction immediately.
Shall I activate the product within certain grace period?
No. You can activate the trial version any time you like with the purchased serial number.
What happens during product activation?
When a customer installs Easypano software and initiates an activation request, the program will generate an Activation ID according to network card ID of the specific computer. Then Activation ID and Serial Number are uploaded to Easypano Activation Server for authentication. After successfully being authenticated, the product will be fully activated. In this way, Easypano can ensure that each genuine copy is not activated more than the permitted number of times. Activation does not hinder licensed users' ability to use the software the way they always have.
