ACTIVATION
GETTING STARTED WITH QUARKCOPYDESK 2018 | 11
Activation
After you install QuarkCopyDesk® with a valid alpha-numeric validation code, you
must activate the software.
A valid (non-evaluation) copy of QuarkCopyDesk will run for 30 days without being
activated.
Activation is a process that authorizes QuarkCopyDesk to run indefinitely on the
computer on which it was installed. During activation, an installation key is
generated and sent to Quark. This installation key contains a representation of your
hardware configuration. Quark uses the installation key to generate and return an
activation key, which is used to activate your copy of QuarkCopyDesk
For a thorough description of Validation codes, Installation codes and Activation 
codes, visit Quark Support Knowledgebase .
An activated copy of QuarkCopyDesk can run only on the specific computer on
which it was activated. If you want to move a copy of the software to a different
computer, you can use the License Transfer feature. For more information, see
“License transfer.”
If you are using Quark® License Administrator (QLA) to monitor QuarkCopyDesk 
usage, you do not need to activate QuarkCopyDesk.
An evaluation copy of QuarkCopyDesk will run in fully functional mode for 3 days. 
After that, the software will not launch unless you enter a valid validation code. If
you need to evaluate QuarkCopyDesk for longer than 3days, please contact our
Telesales team: www.quark.com/en/Buy/Enterprise_Sales.
