## Manually Generate Activation Codes

Manually generating Activation Codes is performed by you or your staff by simply launching the SoftwareShield Manual-Activator, opening the correct license and inputting the customers Authorization Request Code and possibly their Serial Number.

You may need to input parameters or make small changes to configure the Activation Code to do exactly what you want before you give it to your customer - but the process is quite simple.

Three sub-sections briefly describe the following features available to you when you are manually generating Activation Codes for a Simple Code Exchange: If instead you need to perform a manual Serial Number Code Exchange, see: CheckPoint Manual-Activation

1. Override Authorization Requests

2. Override Shelf-Life

3. Define Run-Time Composite Payload
