Activation
After you install QuarkXPress® with a valid alpha-numeric validation code, you must
activate the software.
A valid (non-evaluation) copy of QuarkXPress will run for 30 days without being
activated.
Activation is a process that authorizes QuarkXPress 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 QuarkXPress
For a thorough description of Validation codes, Installation codes and Activation
codes, visit Quark Support Knowledgebase.
An activated copy of QuarkXPress 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 QuarkXPress usage,
you do not need to activate QuarkXPress.
An evaluation copy of QuarkXPress will run in fully functional mode for 30 days. After
that, the software will not launch unless you enter a valid validation code. If you need
to evaluate QuarkXPress for longer than 30 days, please contact our Telesales team:
