The only information required to activate is a 55-digit Product Install ID. The Product Install ID is a combination of the product key and a hardware ID generated from a specific computer’s hardware configuration. Product activation uses a hash algorithm to generate the hardware identifier and does not scan the computer’s hard drive or detect any personal information.
