3) Select "Online Activation" as the method for activation and enter the URL to the folder dedicated to your publication on your server. In our tutorial, since the folder was "publication2", the URL would be "http://www.mysite.com/heakdist/publication2/".

URL

WARNING: the URL should be pointing to a directory, not a file.

http://path/to/heakdist/mypublication/ is correct

http://path/to/heakdist/mypublication/heactivate.php is wrong.

4) Click OK and rebuild your publication.
