The download link will be sent with an activation code via email after requesting a trial license, or after purchasing a full license(s).

To get a fully functional activation code, purchase the required number of licenses. In this case, registration is obligatory. You can register by entering your email address when purchasing the license. Further instructions how to set your password and installation directions will be sent to the email address you provided during the checkout process.

When purchasing the product via FastSpring the activation codes are sent within 24 hours after the funds are received. If a contract is signed with a company, the activation codes are sent after receipt on account or after a copy of a payment order is submitted.

The license information will be displayed on your profile. The license status will be displayed as: Generated – meaning that the license code is generated but not used or Activated - meaning the activation code is used. Your login is your email you used when ordering Stringer Java Obfuscator.

The activation code is single-use. It means you have to contact the customer support to get a new code if the original license file was lost.

Stringer Java Obfuscator supports two activation methods: online and offline. If you have an active Internet connection you may use online activation. If you have not Internet connection, or if it is limited by various traffic filter systems you should use offline activation. In this case, it is necessary to generate activation request code using CLI or GUI, and send it to primary@licelus.com via email. You can do it from another computer or a device which has an active Internet connection.
