Offline Activation

by typora.io

Precondition

You will need another computer with network connection to download the activation token.

Please notice that, offline-activation is only prepared for the case that Typora cannot access to our activation server successfully.

Once you generated an Activation Token, that will occupy one available seats for the license (one license has up to 3 activated devices at one time) for at least 6 month, because we cannot know if you are using that device or not since it is offline.

In other words, devices that is activated by offline activation cannot be deactivated in at least 6 month, and will be counted in the 3 devices limit for one license code, unless it was back to internet again.

There will be a label (offline activation) under the device that was activated by “offline-activation”, please click “deactivate” button to unbind that device.

If it shows “Device cannot be deactivated within 6 month after offline activation. Please retry some days later or deactivate it from the machine.” Then you will need to deactivated it after at least 6 month from the activation token was generated, since Typora allows 3 activated devices for one license at most at one time, while we cannot know if that device is still used or not if that device is offline.
