Resetting Activation

Resetting activation is required when you have lost the copy protection because the

activation file is damaged (hard drive crash, file corruption on the hard drive, etc.). In

this case, read and familiarize yourself with the procedures below, locate the Master

disk for your software, then contact Rockwell Software Technical Support at (414) 321-

4266. You will want to be at an IBM compatible computer when you call Technical

Support. In an emergency, you can use the Master disk as a keydisk until you are able

to reset the activation files.

If you do not have the Master disk for your software, we will not be able to reset your

activation. Always store the Master disk for your software in a safe place.
