The MARIN Product Activation Resources DVD contains the following directories:
- MARIN Product Activation: This directory contains the installer for the MARIN Product Activation Tool. This program must be installed and used if your received an activation ID or trial ASR file in order to activate the MARIN Software Product.
- MARIN License Manager: This directory contains the installer for the MARIN License Manager. This license manager is needed to provide floating product licenses. You need to install this license manager if you have purchased floating license for your MARIN product. Typically, the MARIN License Manager is installed on a server system. The MARIN product requiring the licenses is installed on a client system.
- Activation Services: This directory is needed in case you need to install the Windows FlexNET service utility manually.
The DVD also contains PDF versions of the MARIN Product Activation User Guide and the Marin License Manager Installation and User Guide.
Product activation
MARIN software is protected with a license. To be able to use a MARIN product, a valid license must be used. MARIN uses two licensing models:
- online licensing using the Marin Product Activation Tool
- offline licensing using a license file
The advantage of online licensing is that you do not have to wait for a license file from the Marin support department and that you can activate the Marin product directly. If you received an activationID together with your product or in an e-mail, you can continue to activate your product using online licensing (trusted storage-based). If you did not receive an activationID together with your product, you need to follow the offline licensing (certificate-based) guide.
Online activation

Make sure you know what type of license you have purchased with your product. MARIN supports two kinds of licenses:
- Node-locked license: "Node lock" is a Single Use license model. The license is tied (activated & authorized) for use on just one computer--one specific node.
- Floating license: A "concurrent use", also know as a "floating" license--where the software product can be used from any computer with network connection to a license server. Or said another way, you can install the software on multiple computers--but could only use the one license on one computer at a time.
