Getting Your Computer’s Locking Code

Chapter 1 - Getting Started

1. Contact your vendor following the instructions supplied. (Depending on

your vendor, this may be by telephone or via the Internet.)

2. The vendor may tell you that a new license code has already been

shipped with the application, and all you need to do is to install it. In this

case, skip to the instructions in step #5, below.

3. If your vendor tells you a new license code is required, your vendor will

probably ask you to get the locking code of your computer. You can find

the instructions for doing this in “Getting Your Computer’s Locking

Code” on page 6.

4. After you have the locking code, you must give it to the vendor. The ven-

dor will create a license code using this information and provide you

with a license code.

5. You will complete the license activation process by installing the license.

If your application has been configured to accept the license code

directly, the application will prompt you for the license code and install it

for you. To find out if your application supports this, try running the

application. If it asks for a license code, type it in and wait for the appli-

cation to install the license. Once the application has installed the

license, it is ready to run without any further attention. If the application

does not ask for a license code, you must install the new license. See

“Installing License Codes” on page 7 for instructions.

Once you have installed a valid license code, you are done.

Getting Your Computer’s Locking Code

Note Depending on how your vendor has asked you to install the license code,

you may not need to get the computer’s locking code; the license installer

may do it for you and display the locking code to you. However, it never

hurts to use the echoid utility to get the locking code.
