Activating a License
PrintShop Mail Connect comes with a30 day trial license period during which time it is not
necessary to have a commercial license to run the application. This allows time for reviewing
the applications and for organizing a commercial license. If a modification to the trail license is
required, such as to allow an extension to the trial period, or for extra functionality, then a new
activation code will need to be requested.
Obtaining the PrintShop Mail Connect Magic Number
To obtain an activation file the OL™ Magic Number must first be retrieved. The Magic Number
is a machine-specific code that is generated based on the computer's hardware and software
using a top-secret Objectif Lune family recipe. Each physical computer or virtual computer has
a different Magic Number, and each requires a separate license file to be functional.
To get the PrintShop Mail Connect Magic Number, open the PrintShop Mail Connect
Designer application:
l
Open the Start Menu
l
Click on All Programs, then Objectif Lune, then PrintShop Mail Connect
l
Open the PrintShop Mail Connect Designer [version] shortcut.
l If the application has never been activated before or if the activation (either a trial or full
license) has expired, the Software Activation dialog should automatically appear.
If the application license is still active (either a trial or full license) and has not yet expired,
load the Software Activation dialog via the Help > PrintShop Mail Connect Software
Activation ... Menu option.
