How it works?
|
The most common and simple scheme for online activation and automatic orders processing is looking like that:
Online Activation Panel is integrating into payment processor system. Once the order has came and approved, registrar calls Online Activation Panel. Order is being saved to the database, the new customer record is creating and customer is being notified by email about successful order processing and license information, such as Activation ID. Customer downloads the protected program and runs it. If the program is not yet activated, customer will be asked to enter Activation ID, connect to the internet and activate. While activation, program connects to the Online Activation Panel and checks if the Activation ID exists in the database. If conditions are passed, Online Activation Panel generates a registration name and key based on the hardware equipment of the customer computer and sends this registration information back to program. Program registers and continues to work.
The common scheme can be customized to satisfy almost any needs.

Miscellaneous

Online Activation
|
Online activation is an automatic registration of an application via internet.
Normally, the majority of software applications use a registration scheme in which a user is required to enter the registration name and registration key. If a software developer wants to restrict the use of a license to a single computer, the scheme gets complicated due to a unique user hardware identifier involved (Hardware ID). In this case, the registration is performed as follows:
- - A user runs the application that shows the Hardware ID. The user submits the Hardware ID to the developer via e-mail, fax, etc.
- - Based on the user name and their Hardware ID, the developer creates a registration key and sends it back to the user.
- - The user enters the registration name and key into the program and registers it.
To automate this registration scheme, online activation is used. In case of online activation, the following takes place:
- - A user runs the protected application, enters a short activation number (that the user received when purchasing the program) and clicks Activate.
- - The program automatically connects to the Control Panel via internet. Depending on the user name specified in the order and the unique Hardware ID, the Control Panel creates a registration key and sends it back to the program.
- - The program is automatically registered.
The entire process of registration is performed online with minimum user attendance.
