Information about licensing
Note: In order to activate the product after installation or to gain access to the Full Version at a later time, you must
possess a valid license key. This license key is also called a registration code, serial number, or product ID.
O&O SafeErase needs to be licensed per computer; in other words, you have to purchase a license for each computer
where you want to employ O&OSafeErase.
If you do not enter a valid license key, you will only be able to use O&O SafeErase as a trial version with a limited func-
tionality.
If you would like to implement O&O SafeErase in your company or as a technician for your customers, then please con-
tact one of our resellers or our Sales Department.
