Activating Your Software

Activating your license is easy, just start your newly installed AlphaCard ID Suite software or Trial Edition.

First, select the Activate AlphaCard ID Suite option and click Next.

Enter your serial number and activation code.

The Machine ID is unique for each computer that AlphaCard ID Suite is installed on, and is used for activating the license and identify your computer by our licensing system. The Machine ID is generated based on your internal computer hardware. If you are unable to active the software because your computer does not have an internet connection, your license can be activated directly through our website but you will need the Machine ID.

After you enter your license information, click on Activate to start the Activation process.

While activating your software, you can also register your license. Registering your license gives you access to our Help Forum and keeps you updated about new releases and updates.

On the registration page you can enter your contact information, select the printer brand you are using, the type of company, select your preferred language, and create an alias for the Forum.

IMPORTANT! Your provided information will never be commercially sold and will only be used by AlphaCard to provide you with important information about your software and hardware.

When you are done providing your contact information and creating an alias, click Next.
