ACTIVATION
GETTING STARTED WITH QUARKCOPYDESK 2021 | 9
Activation
After you have installed QuarkCopyDesk®, you must activate the software.
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.
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.”
An evaluation copy of QuarkCopyDesk will run in fully functional mode for 7 days.
After that, the software will not launch unless you enter a valid validation code.
Activating
You must activate your copy of QuarkCopyDesk. If a valid copy of QuarkCopyDesk
has been installed on your computer but has not yet been activated, the Product
Activation dialog box displays each time you launch the software. The activation
process requires an internet connection. To activate your copy of QuarkCopyDesk:
Choose QuarkCopyDesk as your product configuration •
Enter your validation code •
Click Continue. •
Canceling the activation dialog will quit the application.
If you cannot activate online, see Contacting Quark for contact information. 
Activation troubleshooting
If automatic activation fails, contact Quark Technical Support (see “Contacting
Quark“).
The Quark activation system supports only basic proxy server authentication.
Internet activation will not work if you use a proxy server with something other
than basic authentication.
