Product activation aims to ensure legitimate software use i.e., to reduce software piracy, by ensuring that a single subscription is tied to a single computer. Reduced piracy means that we can invest more in product development, quality and support, ultimately to the benefit of you our customers. Re-installation and activation of a subscription on the same computer can be performed an unlimited number of times.

The activation process is as follows:

1. Download and install Caedium and Caedium add-ons for your platform.
2. Purchase a subscription or request a free trial – an activation license will be sent to your registered email address
3. Run Caedium and copy and paste (Windows & Linux: Ctrl+C then Ctrl+V, Mac: Cmd+C then Cmd+V) the license key from your activation email into the Help->Activate Product wizard (shown below)

4. Restart Caedium to use the newly activated add-on

During the final step in the activation process, the activation license key and a unique one-way computer hash, or checksum, are sent to our activation server, which validates the information and activates the product on your computer. No personally-identifying data is included or required.

Note that you may purchase the same subscription for multiple computers.
