12:38, 8 October 2013 The functionality of {{UBIK}} is tied to a valid license. The most obvious point where the license is checked is at the startup of {{UBIK}} Studio, where the user will be prompted to activate the product in order to continue working with the software. If this process is cancelled, {{UBIK}} Studio will fail to start and prompt again at the next attempt.
==Activation==
Each installation of {{UBIK}} needs to be activated once, where the activation requires an established connection to the internet.
The activation is done with the Serial Key that ships with your copy of {{UBIK}}. If the serial was successfully validated, your computer will download a tamper-proof licensing file and store it on your hard disk, so that future starting procedures will not require an internet connection anymore.
{{Attention|Licenses can be issued with limited lifetime (i.e. demos, etc.) and therefore expire at a certain point in time. In this case you need to ask for a new serial and reactivate your installation}}
==Offline activation==
If you can't establish an internet connection from the computer you attempt to install {{UBIK}} on, please consult your sales person and ask for the offline activation procedure.
==Q&A==
Q: Where is the offline licensing file stored?
A: You can find it in C:\Users\[''User Name'']\AppData\LocalUBIKLicense.xml
Q: Can I transfer the licensing file to a new computer?
A: No. It contains informatiojn about your hard- and software and will therefore not work on any other computer than the one it was originally activated
Q: Can I modify the information in the licensing file?
A: No. If you modify something in the file it will become invalid
