Registration Process; Activation Code - Arkaos GrandVJ Reference Manual

6
The Serial Key is the code that unlocks GrandVJ to run on a specific computer. It is calculated
by combining the computerʼs MachineID - an 8 letters code that GrandVJ generates and which
identifies your computer - and the Activation Code, which is the proof that you own a license.

1.4 Registration process

The registration process is fairly easy. You have the choice to either unlock GrandVJ directly
from within the application itself (if you are working on a computer that is connected to the
internet) or to use a Serial Key that was obtained from our web site or during a previous
installation.
In any case, each Serial Key you generate is sent to you by mail as confirmation so you can
keep a trace i.e. if you need to re-install your computer.
When you start the application
unregistered, the
wizard appears.
This dialog allows you to choose
the registration method you would
like to use or to continue trying
GrandVJ in demo mode.
Note that your
MachineID is displayed at the
bottom of the dialog; you will only
be able to unlock GrandVJ with a
Serial Key that was generated for
this MachineID

1.4.1 Activation Code

Choose the first option, "Activation Code", and press next if you would like to unlock the
software directly from the application, through your Internet connection. This option is the
easiest but requires that GrandVJ can communicate with our servers and is not blocked by
a firewall or network policy restrictions.
Type your Activation Code in
the first field. If you have a
software box, the Activation
Code is printed on a sticker
that is attached
installation CD sleeve. If you
purchased a license online,
the Activation Code has been
sent to your e-mail.
The code is composed of four
groups of four capital letters
separated by hyphens, so a
total of 16
characters.
