Software versus
hardware activation
The next step is to choose between Software Activation and Hardware
Activation.
This choice is very important as it cannot be changed at a later
stage.
Software Activation: Using this method of activation, 123 Print
computes a Serial Number from various components on your PC.
123 Print then ties your license number to this computed Serial
Number. Thus, your software becomes PC Dependent. You will
not be able to transfer your licensing details over to a different PC
if you want to install and run 123 Print on a different PC.
Hardware Activation: This method of activation requires the
purchase of a Hardware Serial Number Key. Using this method of
activation, 123 Print ties your license number to the serial number
of your Hardware Key. Thus your software becomes PC
Independent. This means you can install and run 123 Print on a
different PC at anytime, providing you are able to plug your
Hardware Serial Number Key into the other PC. The Hardware Key
must be present for the software to run.
Once you have made your choice between Software and Hardware
