Activating a License
PlanetPress Connect and PlanetPress Workflow both come with individual 30 day trial license
periods during which time it is not necessary to have a commercial license to run the
applications. This allows time for reviewing the applications and for organizing a commercial
license. If a modification to the trail license is required, such as to allow an extension to the trial
period, or for extra functionality, then a new activation code will need to be requested.
Obtaining the PlanetPress Connect Magic Number
To obtain an activation file the OL™ Magic Number must first be retrieved. The Magic Number
is a machine-specific code that is generated based on the computer's hardware and software
using a top-secret Objectif Lune family recipe. Each physical computer or virtual computer has
a different Magic Number, and each requires a separate license file to be functional.
To get the PlanetPress Connect Magic Number, open the PlanetPress Connect Designer
application:
l
Open the Start Menu
l
Click on All Programs, then Objectif Lune, then PlanetPress Connect
l
Open the PlanetPress Connect Designer [version] shortcut.
l If the application has never been activated before or if the activation (either a trial or full
license) has expired, the Software Activation dialog should automatically appear.
If the application license is still active (either a trial or full license) and has not yet expired,
load the Software Activation dialog via the Help > PlanetPress Connect Software
Activation ... Menu option.
