        Online Activation

        You need to be online to be able to activate your license successfully.

        If you need any help with entering or activating your license, please contact support@sqlspreads.com.

        Offline license activation

        The standard SQL Spreads license will automatically activate the license when the license is entered.

        If you do not have an internet connection on the machine running SQL Spreads, you can request an offline activation license key. Please contact support@sqlspreads.com to get an offline activation license key.

        Follow these steps to activate an offline activation license:

        1. First, go to the About dialog in the SQL Spreads tab in Excel:
          Download and install About 7.1

        2. Click the Enter License Key button and enter your offline activation license key:
          Enter license key.png

        3. Click the Activate License button:

        6. Enter your Activation Key in the dialog and click OK.
          When the Activation Key is entered, the license status will be updated to confirm your license activation:

        When you are entering an offline activation license key into SQL Spreads, you will have a 15 day time period to activate the license, starting at the day when you enter the license key on the machine. You can still activate the license after those 15 days, but you cannot use SQL Spreads after those 15 days without activating the license.
