## SoftwareShield Manual-Activator™

The SoftwareShield Manual-Activator is a dialog based Windows application that you can use to "manually" generate Activation Codes for your licensed software. You can directly generate Activation Codes from Authorization Request Codes for your license project (referred to as an "off-line" simple code exchange) or you can use the Manual-Activator to connect to the CheckPoint License Server to perform a Serial Number code exchange (online).

The two principal methods of using the Manual-Activator are covered in:

- Off-line Activation

- CheckPoint Activation

There are several option settings you can manipulate in the Manual-Activator to enhance your productivity, see: Options.
