Activating the included software
To make the best use of the software included with the machine, you need to activate it. If the software is installed on a PC with Internet access, this is very easy. You only have to enter two numbers; everything else is automatic. If you have any problems with the procedure described here, please consult the user manual. The process is explained very clearly there.
How to activate your software
Install the software and start it. You will see that the program is running in demo mode. At the far right end of the menu bar at the top of the screen, click “Activate License”. You will see the form shown below.
Your order number (example: OR 2138) and your customer number (example: 000720) are shown on all official papers you received with your Profiler. You need these two numbers to activate the software. Enter your order number in the first box and your customer number in the second box. The license identification code is entered automatically. If your computer has Internet access, all you have to do now is to click the “Send E-mail” button. If your PC does not have Internet access, you must inform us of these three numbers by fax or phone. In either case, we will send you the activation code promptly.
After you receive your activation code, enter it in the “Enter License Activation Code” box, and enter the name of the license holder in the box below. Then click the “Accept” button to activate the software.
