To activate your Windows 7 Operating System:
1. Determine if you have direct access to the Internet from the Airspeed 5000 server.
t If you have direct access to the Internet, you can activate using the “Activate online”
method. Go to Step 2.
t If you do not have direct access to the Internet, you must activate using the “Activate
using the Telephone” method as follows:
- Navigate to C:\Program Files\Avid\Avid AirSpeed\Utilities, and run the
StartActivationServices.bat script. This will enable the correct services.
- When complete, you can stop and disable the services using the
“StopActivationServices.bat” if required.
n
These services are not required for operation of the product outside of system activation. Future
versions of the AirSpeed 5000 Operating System (after Version 6) will have these services
enabled by default.
2. To see the Activation Status, do one of the following:
t Right-click on My Computer, and select Properties.
t Open the Control Panel, select System and Security menu, then select the System
Control Panel view.
At the bottom of the Properties panel, you will see the “Windows activation” status.
3. To activate your Windows 7 Operating System, select Activate Now. The Activation Wizard
opens.
You will need the number on the Windows Product Key Certificate of Authenticity located on
the top-right-front corner of the AirSpeed 5000 server. You should have written this number
down before the server was placed in the rack.
4. Follow the prompts in the Activation Wizard to activate your Windows 7 Operating System.
