1.2 Licensing XML Authority

XML Authority is protected through the use of an Activation Key that is tied to your computer name.  The same licence key can be reused on as many different computers as you have bought licences for.

When you first load XML Authority, you will be taken to the Licence screen:

XML Authority can communicate with its licensing server directly in order to release the licence.  To do so, select the Online Activation button.

If XML Authority cannot communicate with its licensing server, it may be blocked from doing so by your company's IT security policies.  In that case, click Back, and perform an Offline Activation.

Offline Activation

Offline activation can be used if the computer onto which XML Authority is to be installed does not have access to the internet, or if XML Authority is blocked from communicating with its licensing server by your company's IT security policies.

The internet is still required for offline activation, but that can be from a browser on the same computer, on a different computer or mobile device.

Moving a Licence to a Different Computer

Once deactivated, you may activate the same Activation Key on a different computer.
