When you license a software product from Eaton, you are issued a serial number that represents your license to use that software. You must activate your software product to confirm that each copy of the product is not installed on more than the limited number of computers that is indicated in the software end user license agreement (EULA).
Activation is intended to protect your rights, as a consumer, to use the license to its full extent, and it is also intended to protect Eaton’s rights as a software developer. Only genuine software licenses entitles you to critical updates and technical support. You may not be able to use certain versions of software if it is not activated.
During the Activation process, information about the following is sent to Eaton via an Internet connection: your computer, your computer's operating system, the software version in use on your computer, the serial number associated with that software, and your name and order information. In addition, Eaton receives the Internet Protocol address of your Internet connection. All the foregoing information is collectively referred to as the "Received Information" and is stored by Eaton. Eaton may use the Received Information, alone or in conjunction with other information you or third parties have provided, to detect and prevent fraud and abuse of products and services, such as the use of software that is not validly licensed or that is not being used in accordance with a valid license.
If your software fails to activate, either because it cannot connect to Eaton over the Internet or because its use is not permitted, it may offer only limited functionality or not operate at all. An Internet connection and registration will be required for software activation. Activation must be completed prior to use of the software product.
If you encounter an activation problem or get an activation error code, see Activation and deactivation.
