Activating a Local License via Email
If you have a product code for your product and you want to activate it on a machine that is not connected to the Internet, you can activate it by email. To do this, you can use License Wizard to generate an activate request, then use a computer that is connected to the Internet to send this activation request to the Toon Boom licensing department. If the request is valid, they will send you a license file that you can use to activate your product without an Internet connection.
