Instructions for Extending the HYDRUS Activation
The activation of HYDRUS is always time-limited (even if you have a permanent license) and the maximum activation period is one year. The time-limited activation was introduced to prevent some unwanted consequences in events such as computer crashes and similar hardware problems that require a new activation of HYDRUS without its prior deactivation. You can prolong the activation anytime before its expiration using the button "Extend activation on-line" in the HYDRUS license dialog - see instructions below. After the authorization expires, you can reactivate HYDRUS using the on-line activation or by e-mail.
Extending the HYDRUS Activation
- If HYDRUS is not already running, run it "As Administrator", i.e. click on the HYDRUS icon by right mouse button and select "Run as administrator".
- Go to the main menu and click on the command "Help->Hydrus License and Authorization"
- In the "HYDRUS Authorization" dialog, press the button "Extend Activation online".
- In the "Extend Activation Online" dialog, enter the Activation Key.
- Press the button "Extend Activation Now". If you are prompted to allow HYDRUS to connect to the internet, allow it. The activation process is finished by a message confirming the successful activation or displaying the reason of failure. If you need a help, please contact HYDRUS customer support.
