* Other cases.

If your license has expired, you will receive a popup like the following. Click "Next" to proceed with the activation. Then go to the Step 6:

6. The next dialog offers you the following activation options:
* *Online activation -* Online activation is automatic and requires the computer with R1Soft CDP installed to connect directly to [https://activation.r1soft.com:443].
* *Manual activation -* Manual activation requires you to paste a coded message to a website form, download the license key file, then upload it to this CDP installation.

Select an option and click "Next."

7. The next screen will prompt you for the Product Key. Enter the Product Key you received from the R1Soft sales team in the "Product Key" text box on the "License Activation" screen. You can enter an optional server description in the "Server Description" text box.
* *Product Key* \- This is the 36-character product activation code and looks like xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx. It is best to copy and paste this code into the form. The License ID cannot be empty for online/manual activation.
* *Server Description* \- The server description is any text string. It is recorded with the license only for your records and to help you identify this license activation if you have multiple licenses.

Click "Next."
