If you do not have an internet connection or are otherwise unable to use the Activate Online feature, you may request a manual activation code.

Note: Trial licenses of Avontus Designer require online activation and an active internet connection during the trial period.

Procedures

There are two ways to manually request activation:

  • With email client & internet connection not available

Choose the best option based upon your computer's accessibility.

To manually request activation:

If an email client is available:

  2. Click OK

    This launches your default email client which starts a new email message. The message is addressed to Avontus Support and contains the entered registration information. No additional information is required. Warning: Do not remove or alter the information in the License Details section. This information is required to receive an activation code.
