Online Activation

Online activation is an effective method offered by HTML Executable to protect and control remote access to your ebooks and publications. Utilizing online activation provides several advantages, including remote control over activations, the ability to unlock registered editions, and the capability to limit activations to a specific number of computers.

For customers, installing their license is straightforward, as a simple activation key lets them unlock the ebook:

Throughout this documentation, the remote server responsible for handling activations and managing the database of ebooks and customers will be referred to as the 'activation server'.

By integrating online activation into your publication, you enable seamless interaction with the activation server, ensuring automation and increased productivity.

  The Activation Kit or Protect Ebook .net provides you with powerful tools to manage your ebooks and customers online:

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 (for hardware-locked keys). Importantly, no private personal data is transmitted.

4)The activation server retrieves the account associated with the activation key from its 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 (if provided).

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

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.
