License activation is the process through which a software product is validated for use. This can be accomplished via online verification, license key entry, or file exchange, depending on the licensing model and environment.
Activation processes ensure that licenses are used in accordance with their terms, and prevent unauthorized duplication. Many systems use cryptographic signatures and secure communication channels to make activation tamper-resistant.
iLok Licensing provides a brandable activation experience, Activation APIs and the iLok License Manager to provide flexible activation flows.
