to completely and finally remove unencrypted data from the memory card.

activation means that know-
how protection is active again after a POWER ON.
Data is still saved on the memory card in an encrypted form. The existing password is used
to reactivate know
-how protection.
Final deactivation means that know
-how protection is no longer active, even after a POWER
ON. Data is saved on the memory card in an unencrypted form (i.e. data is no longer
encrypted).
Even if know
-how protection has been finally deactivated, it can still be reactivated when
required.
