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.
