Resolving Customer Issues with the Activation Process
We have provided several tools to help you debug activation issues with your customers.
The majority
of problems experienced with the Activation process
is related to users entering incorrect Activation or Evaluation License
Codes, or entering wrong passwords during the Re-Activation process. The suggestions
below are listed in order of occurence of issues
Checking the Events Log |
The Event Log shows all transactions
processed by the DNA Server for a specific Product or a specific Code, including Error descriptions
when transactions are rejected.
This is the first place to look when trying to resolve a customer issue with the Activation process.
You can access the Event Log by clicking on for a specific Product
on the Home Page, or on View Events in the Product View or Code View screens.
See Event Log
for more information.

Checking the Warnings |
From the Event Log screen, click on Show Warnings
to see a summary of codes with high rejection rates. This can help pinpoint users with activation
issues, or systematic issues with your implementation of software_DNA.

Event Log Reports and Warnings |

you to view/download reports on Log Events. This could be used to understand recurring problems from specific
users, or a systematic issue of the implementation of software_DNA in your application.

Anti-Virus Applications |
Issues where user is not able to activate the
application, or is required to re-activate his software at start-up. This can be caused by the Anti-Virus application
blocking the writing of the License ".CDM" file on the user’s computer.
Disabling or changing the Anti-Virus
application settings can resolve the issue.

Offline Activation |
Issues typically related to generating the ".LIC" pre-license
file on the offline computer, or using the Offline Activation portal, or transferring the ".CDM" License file
back to the offline computer
See Offline Activation
for additional information.

Proxy Settings and Firewalls |
In certain organizations using Firewalls, users
may have to provide Proxy information to allow the software_DNA Client to connect to the DNA Servers
