FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Does ActiveExit require product activation?

No, ActiveExit does not require product activation. You only need to enter your license key into the program after you have purchased a license for its continued use, that's all. You can reinstall the software and enter your license key in it whenever you want, any number of times (assuming you are not installing the product on more computers than included in your license, of course).

Can I use the same license key to install ActiveExit on several computers?

Yes, you can use the same license key, provided that you are installing it on no more computers than included in you license. Please refer to the file License.txt (installed along with other files of ActiveExit) for the detailed description of the terms of using this software on more than one computer. For information on our site license and quantity discounts, please visit our Online Store.

How do I enter the License Key?

ActiveExit prompts you to enter your license key when you run it: simply press the Enter License Key button on the Welcome screen and enter your licensing information into the form.

Alternatively, you can run ActiveExit, choose the Help - About command from its menu, and click on the Enter License Key button.

IMPORTANT: When entering your licensing information, make sure you enter your name and the license key exactly as they are shown on your license certificate, including all capitalization and punctuation. Otherwise, ActiveExit may not accept the license key or may not register your information properly. You may wish to copy and paste the name and key from our message into the form, to avoid typos.

May I give a copy of ActiveExit software to a friend?

Yes, you may give evaluation copies of our programs to your friends and associates. However, you may NOT share your license key, if any, with anybody else. Please remember that the license key we provide you with are for your own use only. If your friends like our programs, please let them purchase their own license keys. To avoid possible confusion, please give out the original installation files with the evaluation versions that you may download from our web site.

There are several other simple, but important conditions which we impose on further redistribution of our programs. Unless you have obtained a written permission from us to do otherwise, you must:

Include ALL of the UNMODIFIED original files of the evaluation version.
Inform the user that the evaluation copies are for the evaluation purposes ONLY.
Not charge for the evaluation copies.
Not bundle our software with other programs.
Once again, you may not share the license key.

Please refer to the file License.txt in the folder where you have installed ActiveExit for the complete description of our distribution requirements.

How do I backup the settings of ActiveExit?

If you want to backup the settings of ActiveExit (such as the current selection of its options and the positions of its windows), you can use Windows Registry Editor to backup the appropriate registry key into a file.

IMPORTANT: Registry Editor is a powerful system tool that should be used with care. Be very careful not to delete or change anything there unless you know what you are doing, because you can make your computer unbootable!

Specifically, to backup the setting of ActiveExit into a file, run Registry Editor (RegEdit.exe), and select the following key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER
- SOFTWARE
  - ActiveExit

Then choose File - Export Registry File from the menu of Registry Editor, make sure that the option Export range: Selected branch is selected, and enter a file name in which to store the settings.

If you later decide to restore the settings from the file, locate the file with Windows Explorer and double click on it with the mouse. You may be prompted to confirm that you want to import the settings into the registry.

Can I set up ActiveExit as the logon screen saver?

ActiveExit Classic Edition does not support setting up the logon screen saver, but the XP edition of ActiveExit does provide such support.
