Offline Activation/Deactivation: How it works

Question:  I don't quite understand how offline activation works.  Can you help me?
Answer:  Certainly.  Offline Activation/Deactivation is used for machines that are not connected to the web to communicate with our servers.  The process is really a few steps:

1.  In the License Administrator, follow the steps on screen for Offline Activation.  This will generate a string that you will need to copy and save (word, txt, etc...) to be used on a machine that is online (you can always write this string down, but it may be many characters and leaves room for error).  

2. From a computer connected to the Internet, visit http://www.ecrion.com and select, Log In at the top right corner of the page.  Enter your login credentials to access your account portal.

3.  Under the "Licensing Tab", select Activate/Deactivate license offline.

NOTE 
There should be a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark where this is located.

4.  Paste the string generated from step 1 above and select Uninstall or Install.  This will generate a an activation/deactivation string.  You will need to copy this to be used in the final step on the offline machine.

5.  On the offline machine, paste the string from step 4 in the License Administrator where requested and submit.

Your license should now be deactivated or activated.
