Licence
This page shows which licence tier is active, who it is registered to and how long it runs. It is also where you request a free licence or enter a purchased key.
Accessing
PPPTools ribbon → "About" group → Settings → PPPTools → Licence
Licence status
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Tier | the active licence tier |
| Valid until | expiry date, or unlimited |
| Checked on | when the licence server was last contacted |
Offline for a while
After more than 30 days without a server check the page asks you to check online once. A click on Check licence is enough.
Licence holder
Name, company, country, e-mail and registration date of the licence, followed by the function the tier unlocks.
Requesting a free licence
If no licence exists yet, fill in first name, last name and e-mail and leave the Key field empty. Request or activate free licence creates the account.
You then receive an e-mail containing two things: the confirmation link (activate the account and set a password) and your licence key. Until the address is confirmed, the page says so.
Entering a purchased licence
Type the key into the Key field — format PPPT-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX — and click Activate licence.
Check licence asks the server for the current state without changing anything.
Reset
Reset deletes all licence data and the local cache and unregisters this device from the server. You are asked to confirm first.
Careful
After a reset PPPTools runs without a licence until you enter a key again.
