Activation Steps

 

Consider the following scenario: you sell an ebook through your website, with customers making purchases online, for example, through PayPal.

 

 

1)The user places an order for your publication via your authorized reseller (e.g., PayPal). The order details, along with user information, are sent to the activation server, which is configured with the HTML Executable Activation Kit or our Protect Ebook .net activation service. An account is created in the database, and a unique activation key is generated and sent to the end user (e.g., via email).

2)The user launches the publication and enters the activation key in the nag screen. By clicking Activate, the activation process initiates.

3)The publication establishes a connection with the activation server and shares necessary information, such as the registration key and unique system ID (hardware-locked keys). Importantly, no private personal data is transmitted.

4)The activation server retrieves the account associated with the registration key from the database. It verifies the number of allowed activations, account status (locked/unlocked), and other relevant details. If the registration is permitted, the server generates a registration key and sends it back to the publication, along with the user's name and organization.

5)The publication validates the registration data received. If the activation is authorized by the server, the certificate is successfully activated. Otherwise, an error message is displayed.

 

Users can configure a proxy server using the Network Settings if they need to connect to the internet through a proxy. The publication will retain this proxy setting for deactivation and validation purposes.

 

Through the free HTML Executable Activation Kit or the utilization of Protect Ebook .net, the entire activation process can be automated, ensuring a seamless experience for both you and your end users.
