Imatest can be installed on several computers, but its license can be activated on only one computer at a time. Use the instructions listed below to activate Imatest on a computer that is offline, disconnected from the internet, or behind a strong firewall that prevents Online Activation.

NOTE: If a computer is online, use the steps detailed in the Online Activation how-to article. If you are moving Imatest from one computer to another, first perform Online Deactivation or Offline Deactivation.

1. From Imatest, select the Help menu and choose License Manager (Activate). See Figure 1. (Screenshot from Legacy UI is on left and new UI is on right)

Note: The license number is deleted in each applicable Figure illustrated in this how-to article.
