If your computer has a working Internet connection then the quickest and most convenient method of activating is via the Internet.

If you are trying to activate the software from inside a school or work network you may need to provide proxy server details in order for activation to work successfully. The product activator will give you the opportunity to enter these details during the activation process.

If your computer does not have a working Internet connection, you can still activate your Widgit Products via either of the Manual Activation methods below:

Using another Computer
If you have access to a computer that has an internet connection, go to http://activation.widgit.com on that computer and select Activate Your Installation.

Over the Telephone
Widgit Technical Support will be happy to help you perform a manual activation over the phone during business hours.

Just call +44 (0) 1926 333680 and state that you wish to manually activate your products.

1. Open the Widgit Product Activator

With the Widgit Product Activator you can:

• See the current license status of your Widgit products.
• View the licence key of any activated products on the machine.
• Request a Free Trial key be emailed to you if you do not currently have a licence for the software.
• Enter and activate a licence key for any purchased or trial products.

2. Enter a Licence Key for Activation

You can enter a key for any product and it will be checked and verified automatically.

A green tick or a red cross will indicate whether or not you have entered a valid licence key.

Once you have entered your key correctly, click 'Activate'.

As detailed above, the quickest and most convenient method of activating is via the Internet.

If you have a working Internet connection, select the first option.

If you are trying to activate the software from inside a school or work network then you may need to provide proxy server details in order for activation to work successfully, click Proxy Server Settings to enter these.

When you are ready to proceed click 'Next'.

Your activation results will then be displayed.

If your activation is successful, click Next. You will then be returned to the Activator home screen where you can choose to activate another key or to finish the activation process.

If your activation is unsuccessful then there may be a problem with your internet connection. You can click back to perform a Manual Activation.

If you do not have a connection to the Internet from the machine you are trying to activate on, select the second option to perform a Manual Activation.

When you are ready to proceed, click Next

You can now choose to manually activate using another computer or over the telephone.

For either method you will need your Licence Key and unique Machine ID, both of which will be displayed on screen.

Using either method will result in you being given an Activation Code which is unique to your machine and licence key. You must enter this into the Activation Code box as soon as possible.

A valid code will produce a green tick after being verified. When the green tick has appeared, click Next to activate.

Your activation results will then be displayed.

If your activation is successful, click Next. You will then be returned to the Activator home screen where you can choose to activate another key or to finish the activation process.
