ACTIVATION
10 | GETTING STARTED WITH QUARKXPRESS 2020
Activation
After you have installed QuarkXPress®, you must activate the software.
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
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 “

(i.e. Save, Print and Export functions will not work). Whenever the user tries to use
the Save, Print and Export features in a free trial copy, an alert will be displayed to
buy and activate the copy.
