Option 3. Authorizing via another computer
This method should only be used if the machine on which you need to authorize your
software does not have an internet connection.
1. To authorize via another computer, choose Via another
computer as the authorization method.
2. License Manager creates an Authorization Request file on your desktop – for example,
“DCAM: Synth Squad.AuthRequest”.
3. You need to take this file to an internet-connected computer (via local network, floppy
disk, thumb drive, CDR, Zip disk etc.).
A small USB thumb drive can be purchased for around $10 at any electronics retailer
and is ideal for this.
4. Once you are at in front of an internet-connected computer, you have one of two options
for generating the Authorization file:
• Using License Manager
Download License Manager from:
www.fxpansion.com/authorize
Install License Manager on your internet-connected
computer, run it and choose Authorize a different computer .
You are prompted to select the Authorization Request file – choose the file on your
thumb drive (or floppy, etc.), and then follow steps 2-5 on page 11.
When the process completes, an Authorization file is generated on your desktop. You
now need to copy this file to your thumb drive (or floppy, etc.), and take it back to your
non-internet-connected machine.
