2.2 Activating RC 24
When installation is finished, start the Service Center application, which was installed with
RC 24. It will connect your computer to the Internet and activate your RC 24 installation.
As long as your NI product has not been activated, it will run in Demo mode with limited
functionality.
In order to activate your copy of RC 24, you have to perform the following steps within the
Service Center:
Log in: Enter your Native Instruments user account name and password on the initial page.
This is the same account information you used in the Native Instruments Online Shop, where
you downloaded RC 24, and for other Native Instruments product activations.
Select products: The Service Center detects all products that have not yet been activated and
lists them. You can activate multiple products at once if necessary.
Activate: After proceeding to the next page, the Service Center connects to the Native Instru-
ments server and activates your products.
