Activation on a machine with internet access

This page applies to Harlequin v13.1r0 and later; both Harlequin Core and Harlequin MultiRIP.

1. Make sure you have received your Product Key from Global Graphics.
2. Make sure you have an Internet connection on the computer on which the RIP is running (otherwise, see Activation on a machine without internet access).

3. Install the Harlequin RIP and LDK using the Global Graphics installer. For detailed instructions on how to do this see the installation manual for your product.

   

   The Global Graphics installer runs the LDK Tool automatically.

4. Copy and paste or carefully enter the Product Key into the Product Key field and select Activate. An “Are you sure...” message appears.
   

   Should problems arise, please see "What happens if a Product Key is mistyped during activation?" and/or "What issues can arise while activating a soft lock or VM lock?"

5. Click Yes to continue. This creates the Protection Key ID assigning your products to the machine. When completed, an “Activation successful” message appears.

If you choose not to activate the license during installation, you can do so later. Go to \ldk\utils within the RIP installation directory and double-click ldktool.exe, then follow step "4" onwards.

You can validate the installation and review the contents of the license using the LDK Tool itself, or the Sentinel Admin Control Center; see How do I discover at the RIP computer what licenses have been activated?
