ACTIVATION
14 | Getting Started with QuarkXPress 2018
If QuarkXPress detects that the activation data has been modified or is missing or
corrupt, the application displays the Activate QuarkXPress dialog box and prompts
you to reactivate QuarkXPress. If QuarkXPress is running in the grace period, the
grace period expires.
If you plan to make significant hardware changes to your computer, you might

want to use the License Transfer feature deactivate QuarkXPress first and then
reactivate it on the same computer after you make the hardware changes. For more
information, see “License transfer.”
If you need to reactivate your copy of QuarkXPress, reactivate it within 30 days.
After 30 days, it will run only in demonstration mode (see “
Demonstration Mode.”).
Y
ou can uninstall and reinstall an activated copy of QuarkXPress on the same

computer as many times as you want without reactivating the application.
The grace period for activation after installation or for certain types of peripheral 
hardware changes is 30 days. There is no grace period for a significant hardware
change or for damage to the activation mechanism.
Dual activation policy
A single-user license of QuarkXPress allows the primary registered user to install and
use the software on two computers (a primary computer and secondary computer).
To take advantage of this policy, simply install and activate QuarkXPress on both
computers.
The dual activation policy is platform independent, so you can use it on two
computers running macOS, two computers running Windows or two computers,
one running macOS, the other running Windows.
