Getting License Key Online
To get a license key online, click on the button that says "Get a license
key through the internet". A page where an activation code can be
entered will open (see illustration to the right).
• If Userful has already provided an activation code, simply
enter it in the first box. In the second box, enter the maximum
number of stations to be used.
• Note: the activation code is tied to a certain number of
stations. The number of stations entered on this page CANNOT exceed the number
specified when purchasing or obtaining an activation code. For example, if a Free 2-User
activation code is being used, the number of stations cannot be greater than 2.
• To obtain an activation code for a Free 2-User license, simply click on the button labeled "Get
Activation Code". This opens a new browser window for the Userful Licensing Server (see the
illustration at right). Follow the directions to register for and/or retrieve the activation code for a Free
2-User license.
• Once an activation code has been obtained, return to the Userful Control Center to enter
the code and install a license key.
As part of the activation process, your web browser submits basic system information to Userful --
including your system's MAC address, Linux distribution and version, and video card. The license key
file(s) are installed automatically, and take effect without rebooting the system.
Installing a License Key from a File
To install a license key from a file that Userful or a Userful partner has provided:
1. Copy the file to the desktop of the system to be licensed, or mount a USB flash drive containing the
license key file.
2. From the starting screen of the Licensing section, click on the button marked "Install a license key
from a file". The page seen to the right will open.
3. Click on the "Browse" button and navigate through the file system to the directory where the license
key is saved. Select the license key file and choose "Open".
4. Click on the "Install License" button. The license key file is installed automatically, and takes effect
without rebooting the system.
