Activating your li cense
When you install DiskSafe Express and restar t your computer , you are prompted to
license
the product. If your computer has an Internet connection , the license is
activated
automatically . However , if your Internet connection was temporarily down
or if your computer has no Internet connection, your license was not activated. You
must activate your license within 30 days of installing DiskSafe Express; otherwise,
you
will not be able to perform backups or recovery .
If your Internet connection was temporarily down , your license will be activated
automatically
the next time you run DiskSafe Express with a restored Internet
connection
.
However , if your computer has no Internet connection, you must perform offline
activation
(as described in t he next section).
If your computer had no network interface card (NIC) when you installed DiskSafe
Express,
or your NIC was disabled , and you subsequently add or enable a NIC, you
must
add the license again (as described in “Replacing your existing license”) in
order to activate it.
Note: Activation is tied to your computer’s hardware. Once you have activated a
particular
license, if your computer hardware changes, or if you subsequently
install DiskSafe Express on a dif f erent computer using the same key code, an
error
message displays. Contact Tech ni ca l Support for f urther assistance.
