# License activation

{% hint style="info" %}
Using a **Nobe OmniScope Pro Studio Floating** key? Register it through the **License Key** tab while connected to the internet. Activation Code and Offline Activation are only for standard licenses. See [Floating Licenses](/nobe-omniscope/license/floating-licenses.md).

How to activate a temp license in OmniScope

## License Key

To activate Nobe OmniScope, open the **License** menu and select **Register**:

In the registration window, select the **License Key** tab and paste your **Email address** and **License Key**.

If OmniScope cannot reach the activation service because the network is down or web requests are being blocked, it now opens the **Offline activation** tab automatically and shows the QR / file recovery path instead of leaving you at a generic failure message.

{% hint style="info" %}
Please note that 14 days temp license is always generated with **<temp@timeinpixels.com>** email address and you need to use this one here instead of your own email address.
{% endhint %}

After activation, OmniScope shows the current system using a friendly **Machine Name** in the license window instead of only the raw Hardware ID. You can rename that machine directly in OmniScope or from the [My License page](https://timeinpixels.com/my-license/), and the updated name will sync both ways.

## Activation Code

If direct License Key activation fails (due to connectivity problems, proxies, firewall, or antivirus blocking web requests), or you need to activate on an **offline system**, you can use the Activation Code method instead:

{% hint style="info" %}
On Windows, if direct License Key activation fails due to SSL/network inspection policies, use **Activation Code** flow below. It uses the browser-based activation page and works reliably in restricted environments.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Activation Code still uses the machine Hardware ID under the hood. The Machine Name shown in the app or on the website is only a friendly label to help identify the activation later.
{% endhint %}

Click **Request Code** to open the activation page in your web browser:

Fill in your license details and press **Submit**. You will receive your **Activation Code**:

Copy & paste the code back in OmniScope to finish the registration process:
