How to Activate your Jet License – Support Topics

Beginner

Overview

After purchasing Jet Reports, you will be sent an Activation Code.

This code looks something like this: 12ABCD34-56E7-890F-A1BC-234D567EF89A

Contact our licensing team if you need to request an activation code or require additional license/activation assistance.

There are several activation methods available to you:

Method 1 - Activate your Jet License During Installation

Your Jet License can be activated during the installation process. Enter the activation code when prompted:

This activation code will be stored on the system, and (assuming the correct activation code was entered) each user will be automatically activated using this activation code the first time the Jet Excel Add-In is enabled in Excel for that user.

Method 2 - Activate you Jet License Online

If the Jet License is not activated during installation, it can be activated from the Jet ribbon within Excel.

Select Activate Jet License from the Help button on the Jet ribbon
Select the Activate Jet online option
Paste of type your Activation Code in to the text box

and click the Activate button.

With Activation, Windows domain IDs are used to authenticate named designers and viewers. A Jet designer or viewer can activate on more than one computer, so long as they use the same Windows domain ID on each. Each Jet designer or viewer will need to enter their organization's activation code on each computer that they use.

Method 3 - Activate your Jet License via the Jet Service Tier

Your system administrator can choose to store your organization's Activation Code in a centralized database which can be accessed by the Jet Service Tier. If this has been done, you can activate your license
