Activate Your Printers

The Activate a Printer dialog lists the existing activated printers on the system and lets you add new activations.

Printer activations are normally given to you by the activations department electronically, including a file that will automatically add all your printers in this dialog.

The printer list displays the following information

License Number: Reference number of the activation, linked to your customer account.
Magic Number: The magic number generated by the printer. If the magic number is incorrect, your jobs will output with a watermark on that printer.
Activation Code: The activation code generated by your license number and magic number. If the activation code is incorrect, your jobs will output with a watermark on that printer.
Printer Name (Optional): Name and/or model of the printer.
Comments (Optional): Comments about the printer.

The following buttons are available in this dialog:

Add: Brings up the Printer Activation dialog. This dialog lets you enter the information for the printer (see previous section), then click OK to save the new activation.
Delete: Removes the currently selected activation from the list.
Web Activation: Click to access the online activation manager on our website.
OK: Save changes and exit.
Cancel: Exit without saving changes.

You can also double-click on any existing activation to edit it.
