Target Audience: Basic User, Advanced User, IT Manager

Summary

For some users, network security protocols prohibit servers from being connected to the internet. This can be a problem when attempting to activate a license on a new computer because TEKLYNX software uses a server to authenticate licenses. Fortunately, there is a work around using a second computer to connect to the server allowing activation without violating policy. This article will guide you through the process of offline license activation of TEKLYNX software.

  • The serial number and password for the software you wish to activate.
  • Access to the system where the software is to be installed while lacking an internet connection – Computer A.
