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 are entering 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.

I have set up the ActiveExit screen saver, but it does not activate. Why?

One possible reason is that your computer has a Group Policy configured that enforces a certain screen saver to be used on your computer. If this is the case, please contact your system admininstrator. The screen saver Group Policy should be set to "not configured", otherwise it will disrupt the operation of ActiveExit.

What is the difference between the Apply and Save buttons?

The Save button is displayed on the main screen of the configuration utility when you are changing the settings stored in a file. When you press the Save button, the settings get saved into the file, but they do not become effective.

When you are using the configuration utility to edit the settings of the local computer or the AutoLoad.aexit file, the Save button is replaced with the Apply button. When you press the Apply button, not only the new settings get stored, but they also become effective on your computer.

If you have forgotten the User's password of ActiveExit, simply run its configuration utility and use it to set up a new User's password.

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