License Activation

The first step to gain access to the portal features and enabling the runtime component you must activate the product with your license key. You can either obtain a trial key from the Atomic Scope website or purchase a commercial key from our sales team. Important: if you do not have internet access on your machine, please follow the steps in Manual Activation section. There are two types of licenses which will enable you to gain access to the product.

Trial License

1. Order Number– The order number of the trial license differs from the commercial license and will be made of the same number of characters just like the license code.
2. License Code- is a unique string generated for every license which you have purchased.

Commercial License

1. Order Number – this number can be found on the first page of your pdf document which will be sent to you after your purchase. The order number is made of 3 letters and 4 numbers (e.g. INV0001) and will remain the same for all your license codes.
2. License Code – is a unique string generated for every license which you have purchased. It is usually found on the second page of your license pdf document.
3. Email – here you will enter your own company email (the person activating this license), this does not have to be the email which was used to purchase the license.

If your machine is isolated and you do not have internet access you need to activate the product via manual activation procedure. However, if you have internet access and you still see Activate Manually button, there is a chance that the access to our backend API is blocked by your firewall or you did not provide your proxy settings (refer here).
