Unlocking the software

The registration code needed to unlock the software will be delivered via e-mail. Please note that this code represents a value and should be archived at a safe place for future reference, e.g. by printing it on paper. The code consists of two parts, the Registration Name and the Registration Key.

It is recommended to login as an administrator when unlocking the sotware. In this case it is possible to not only unlock the application for a single user, but for all user accounts of the current computer. Perform the following steps to unlock the application for unrestricted usage:

  1. Select the menu item Hardware Monitor > Unlock Hardware Monitor…. The window MBS Product Registration will appear. It shows the current status of the registration.
  2. In this window press the button Add Key…. A sheet for entry of the registration code will appear.
  3. Transfer the registration name exactly as you have received it into the field Registration name. You can enter the data manually. However, if you currently have the registration e-mail on the same computer, it will be easier to transfer the data by the features Edit > Copy (+C) and Edit > Paste (+V) into the application. Please pay attention not to transfer any additional blanks or empty lines. Also note that the contents of this field is case-sensitive.
  4. With the same method transfer the registration key into the field Registration key of the application.
  5. Use the buttons at Valid for to select whether you like the registration to become active for the current user account only or for all users of this computer.
  6. Press the button Save.

If both parts of the code have been entered correctly, the window MBS Product Registration will show the successful unlock operation and the type of your license. You can close the window. If some part of the code has been entered incorrectly, an error message will be displayed and the sheet will open again to correct the problem. In this case please check both parts of the code for exact match with the e-mail which has been sent to you.
