Activation
Product activation is required by the current versions of Visustin, Project Analyzer and VBA Plug. It's a simple online process. Offline activation is also possible.
Q: How many times can I install and activate?
A: A single-user license allows 2 installations at a time.
Q: Old activation code doesn't work, why?
A: Each PC requires a new activation code. To get a new code, run the program on the new PC.
Q: Can I get a new activation code?
A: Generally yes. The license allows reinstallation from time to time. New activation is available as long as your license wasn't overused and your free activation period hasn't expired. The limits are defined by your license. At a minimum, activation is free for 3 years from purchase. Run the program on the new PC to fetch your new activation code.
