3.Click [Next].

4.Select [Automatic activation] on the activation mode selection screen, and then click [Next].

5.Click [Start].

Automatic activation starts via the Internet. After the automatic activation finishes, the results screen appears, showing the success or the error status of the individual licenses.

License Authentication and Activation in Environments without Internet Connection

License authentication and activation must both be performed manually in environments without an active Internet connection. In such cases, use a computer that has access to the Internet and download the license authentication file and license activation file from the Nuance Web site.

Notes on Licensing and Activation

License files are created through the activation process. The registered license keys are associated with the hardware ID (HID) of computer on which ShareScan is installed when the license files are created. Therefore, if you change the hardware configuration of the computer on which ShareScan is installed or reinstall the operating system, reactivation via technical support will be required.

Although multiple devices can be registered to ShareScan, the number of devices that can be used is determined by the license. If you connect a number of devices that exceeds the number defined in the license key, a license for each additional device will be required.

For further information on licensing and activation, refer to the ShareScan Administration Console Help.
