Trial activation instructions

Table of Contents

• Offline activation

The trial version of Coherent UI requires a simple registration. The registration requires:

• the email you used for downloading Coherent UI
• internet connection
• outgoing connections to port 3000 to be allowed in your firewall

There's also an option for offline activation that requires another device with internet connection to send an activation token that will be returned signed. See Offline activation for details.

The registration is started automatically when you run the bootstrap file for your target platform. It shows a simple form that asks for your email.

You can register Coherent UI on multiple machines, provided that they run different operating systems.

Applications built with the trial version of Coherent UI also require registration. This means if you want to run your built application on a different computer, you'll have to register Coherent UI on that computer, too. To do that, copy the Activator folder from the archive to the other machine and run:

• For Windows:

  Activator.exe --host "\<Path to folder that contains CoherentUI_Host for Windows\>"

• For Linux:

  ./Activator --host "\<Path to folder that contains CoherentUI_Host for Linux\>"

• For Mac OS X:

  Activator.app/Contents/MacOS/Activator --host "\<Path to folder that contains CoherentUI_Host for Mac OS X\>"

Offline activation

Offline activation consists of the following steps:

1. Run the activator on the machine that you want to activate in offline mode.

• For Windows:

  Activator.exe --offline --host "\<Path to folder that contains CoherentUI_Host for Windows\>"

• For Linux:

  ./Activator --offline --host "\<Path to folder that contains CoherentUI_Host for Linux\>"

• For Mac OS X:

  Activator.app/Contents/MacOS/Activator --offline --host "\<Path to folder that contains CoherentUI_Host for Mac OS X\>"

1. You should see a simple form with 2 buttons and a textbox. One of the buttons generates a request token. Press the "Get request token" button and the text box will be filled with the token.
2. Transfer the token to a device that has an internet connection. Send the token to suppo.nosp@m.rt@c.nosp@m.ohere.nosp@m.nt-l.nosp@m.abs.c.nosp@m.om with subject line "Offline Activation" and description of your project in the body. The token can be in the body or in a separate attachment.
3. You'll receive an activation token to that e-mail shortly. Transfer it back to the machine on which you want to activate Coherent UI.
4. Run the activator again (as described in Step 1) and this time paste the activation token in the text area and press the "Use activation token" button to activate Coherent UI.
