When you start xlCompare it meets you with this screen:

To complete the activation on your PC you can use 2 options:

  • On-line activation. This option is recommended.
    On-line activation option
    You should enter details of your account (login and password) and press the Activate button. All other work is done by xlCompare. It connects to the Spreadsheet Tools Customer Service, checks if you have available activations and transfers Activation Code to your PC.

    If you are using this option, activation will take a few seconds only!

  • Manual activation. This option requires you to make all activation actions manually:

    1. Login to your account in the Customer Service Area: Login
    2. Switch to the Activations page
    3. Select xlCompare license
    4. Enter name of your PC:
      Computer Name
      You can find it in the Control Panel
    5. Generate Activation Code
    6. Copy it to your PC and enter into xlCompare.
    As you can see this procedure has more steps than on-line activation. Please, use it only in case when you do not have Internet Connection on your PC.
