In Windows, users can activate licenses using License Activator. You can access License Activator at any time by double-clicking on it. This tool gives you the choice to:
- Activate a license over the internet by entering an activation key
- Browse for and use an existing license file that has already been activated
License Activator will also let you export the current computer's HostIDs to a file.

Vendors may choose to integrate License Activator within their installer. License Activator includes the following command line options to let vendors customize the tool for their own installer:
LicenseActivator.exe -output output_directory_and/or_file -title custom_text_for_title_bar -trial
