Activate using an activation file

Note

You need to activate the driver even for the trial version.

If you need to perform an offline activation or prefer not to activate the driver over the internet, you can use a file containing the activation key.

This method works only for Perpetual licenses and is useful in secure environments where network connectivity is restricted, or when automating large-scale deployments without relying on online activation servers.

Activate the driver

3. Save the file.

Once saved, the driver is activated.

Deactivate the driver

To deactivate the driver that was activated using an activation key file, delete the file.
