Product Activation works by verifying that a software program's license key has not been used on more personal computers than intended by the software's license. You must use the license key and a serial number in order to install the software and then it is transformed into an installation ID number. You use an activation wizard to provide the installation ID number and serial number to Javvin   either through a secure transfer over the Internet, or by fax/email.
