A: The process for license and evaluation key activation is identical. In either case, you will receive your key via email. Once you have that key, follow these instructions to activate it.

1. Find the ComponentOne License Activation utility in your ComponentOne Start Menu ($/Program Files (x86)/ComponentOne/C1StartMenu/Activation) and open it.
2. Enter your key, choose an activation method, and follow the on-screen instructions.

If you activate a 30-day evaluation key, your trial will proceed exactly as your previous trial did. If you activate a license key, you will be entitled to royalty-free perpetual use.
