How to register AKVIS software

We took the AKVIS MultiBrush registration as an example.

To buy a license you should fill in the form on the product buy-page and order the software using a secure payment system. We offer a number of payment options (credit card, bank transfer, etc). When the form is filled in and the payment is made, the serial number will be sent to you within minutes.

Having received the serial number you can proceed to the program registration.

Attention! During the activation process your computer must be connected to Internet.
If it is not possible, we offer you an alternative way (see below for Offline Activation).

Follow the steps below to register the program:

• Open the window About the program of AKVIS MultiBrush.
  

  This window appears when you launch AKVIS MultiBrush. You can also see this window by pressing the button in the program. Also, Adobe Photoshop lets you call the About the program window right from its menu Help -> About Plug-In -> MultiBrush (Photoshop -> About Plug-In -> MultiBrush in Macintosh).

  Note that the functionality of the program depends on the license type. During the test period you can try all options and choose the license you like. For this select in the window About the program one of the offered functionality types: Home, Deluxe or Business (below these is a brief descripton of the features of the license types). Your choice of license will affect which features are available in AKVIS MultiBrush.

  The button Buy redirects you to the order page, where one can continue to choose a program or proceed to registration.

  If you have a license you can improve it (for example, upgrade Home to Business) any time by paying the price difference. The process is begun by pressing the Upgrade button (it appears instead of Buy if the program is registered).

  Please consult the comparison table for more details about license types and versions of the program.

• Click on Activate in the window About the program to start the process of activation.
• Enter your name (the program will be registered to this name).
• Enter your serial number (your license key).
• Choose the method of activation — either direct connection to the activation server or by mail.

  We recommend activating the program using direct connection, as it is the easiest way. At this step your computer must be connected to Internet.

  If you choose activation via email please put the lic-file into the folder AKVIS in Users' Shared (Public) Documents, and the program will be registered.

  
• Press the button Activate.

  The registration is completed.

  You can start working with the photo editing software and building your unique photo collection.

  

Note: In case you have chosen activation by mail, you should put the file MultiBrush.lic (that you will receive enclosed in the e-mail) into the folder "AKVIS" in Users' Shared (Public) Documents:

• For Windows XP, Windows 2000:

  Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\AKVIS

• For Windows Vista, Windows 7:

  Users\Public\Documents\AKVIS

• For Mac OS X:

  Users/Shared/AKVIS
  or your Home Directory (user's folder - with your username)

If your computer can not be connected to Internet, follow the instruction below:

• Choose the option Send a request via e-mail as a method of activation. Your mailing program will create an activation letter with all necessary information.
• Save the message to a USB stick and transfer to the computer connected to Internet.
• Send the letter without changes.
• You will receive a reply with a .lic file attached (MultiBrush.lic).
• Save the file to a USB stick and move it to your computer.

  Put the file in the corresponding folder (see above).

Other AKVIS programs are registered in the same manner.
