What is product activation?
- Product activation is an interactive interpretation of the licensing agreement that has always existed between Reality XP and its customers. The activation process authenticates licensed users without hindering their ability to use the software the way they have always done. It requires a series of simple, quick, anonymous steps upon product installation. Just as creative professionals use watermarks to protect their intellectual property, Reality XP is using activation as a way to curtail unlicensed copying of its products.
Reality XP's activation process is required for all products. Visit the Product Activation Center to learn more about activation.
