1.3 Authorization and Registration 9
In the following sections we review the different steps required to generate the challenge keys
and obtain the response key. The procedure is similar on Windows XP and Mac OS systems.
1.3.1 Step 1: Generating the challenge key
After launching the installer for the first time, a pop-up window will appear asking you if you wish
to authorize your product now or later. If you are ready to authorize String Studio VS now, click on
the Next button otherwise click on the Authorize Later button. If your computer is connected to
the internet, we recommend that you authorize your product now.

When you click on the Next button, a second window appears asking you to enter your serial
number. Type your serial number as it appears on the back of the sleeve of the String Studio VS
CD-ROM. If you purchased String Studio VS online, an email with your serial number will have
been sent to you at the address which you provided during the purchase process.
After entering your serial number, click on the Next button and your challenge key will appear
automatically in the next pop-up window.
1.3.2 Step 2: Generating the Response key and Registering your Product
If your computer is connected to the internet, click on the link to the A|A|S web server appearing
in the pop-up window. This will launch your web browser and connect you to the unlock page of
the A|A|S web server. Enter your email address, serial number and challenge key in the form as
shown below and click on the Submit button.
