How to Activate a Product License in a Device

Overview

Once you have installed the appropriate MCL-Client (see How to Install MCL Software in a Device) and registered the purchased MCL-Client license package (see How to Register a License), you are ready to activate the MCL-Client's license package's units, meaning, you are going to associate a device to an available unit (ex: If the MCL-Client license package includes 5 units, you will be able to activate/associate 5 devices, one per unit, to that license package).

This type of connection is only available for Windows Mobile/Windows CE devices.

USB connections are NOT available for Android devices.

Step-by-step

1. Connect the device via USB to your PC and ensure a successful connection to Windows Mobile Device Center.

2. Open MCL-Loader V4.

3. Click "Device Software Activation".

You can also access this window, if you click , at the end of the MCL-Client software installation procedure via USB:

See How to Install MCL Software in a Device Via USB Connection.

4. Check "USB (Windows Mobile Device Center)" and click .

If this option is greyed out that means your computer does NOT have Windows Mobile Device Center installed.

The device is identified and the window displays the following information:

< model of the currently connected device >
Product	The MCL product (software) installed in the currently connected device.
Version	The version of the detected MCL product (software).
License Number	The number of the MCL product's license. At this point, there is no license number because the product has not been activated.
License Account	N/A
SSN	The serial number of the installed MCL product (software).
The empty area below can sometimes display current information on the device/MCL product.

The Status Bar provides information on the type of connection ("USB"), the model and name (between parentheses) of the currently connected device and if there is a current connection to the Internet ("On Line"/"Off Line").

If the displayed information is different, see Possible Status/Error Messages.

5. Click .

6. Enter the license number.

You can check the license number in one of these emails:

subject: "License Delivery Notification" - received when you purchased your MCL-Client license package.

subject: "License Activation" - received after you registered the license package in your MCL-License Manager account.

7. Click .

The resulting window provides information on the license package you are activating. It is NOT editable.

License Number	The number of the MCL product's license.
Product	The MCL product(software) installed in the currently connected device.
Company	The name of the company/licensee that registered the license package.
Zip/City	The zip code/city where the company is located.
Total Units	The total number of units included in the MCL product's license package. (ex: 10 units).
Remaining	The remaining number of units that have not been associated to a device. (ex: 7 units. That means that you have already activated/associated 3 devices to that license package).

8. Click to conclude the activation procedure.

This means that the connected device will be associated to this license package, thereby, consuming another unit (ex: the remaining units will be 6).

The license activation is concluded in MCL-Loader V4 and you are provided with two buttons, each one with a different purpose.

9. Click the most appropriate one:

Button	Action
	Click it to return to MCL-Loader V4's main menu. See The MCL-Loader V4 Menu.
	Click it to activate another device. Connect the new device via USB and repeat steps 4 through 8.
