OST2 Activation: License Upgrade

If the same computer is used where the original license was activated, the system will detect a license upgrade (renewal) purchase automatically and manual software reactivation will not be required. 

If it is a new computer, please check the above steps for the new license activation/reactivation section. 

OST2 Activation Tips:

  • If you cannot find your invoice/activation emails in your Inbox after purchase, check your Spam folders to see if any emails were misdirected there instead. If they have not arrived, please contact our Live Help chat and our operators will give you your license key.
  • Ensure that a stable internet connection is available when trying to activate or deactivate the product.
  • Make sure not to leave any spaces before or after the activation key when entering the activation key.

Notes about OST2 Activation:

Product Activation is an anti-piracy technology designed to verify that software products have been legitimately licensed. It is quick, simple, and helps protect customer privacy.

Product Activation works by verifying that a software activation code, which you must use in order to activate the product, has not been used on more personal computers than intended by the software's license.

Please be aware that your Activation (License) Code is linked to your computer. This means that the program cannot be installed on multiple computers with the same license - one unique license is required per computer.
