What does the error “activation limit reached” mean when I try to activate a compiler?
A single-user license allows a compiler to be installed (activation is actually the important issue) on up to 2 computers. Only one copy of the compiler may be used at any given time, however. So for example, you might install the compiler on a desktop machine for day-to-day use, and also install it on a laptop for field work. If you attempt to install and activate the computer on more then two computers you will see this error message appear. If you have had to reinstall the compiler several times and see this error, you can contact support staff and explain your situation. Note that the record of your activations is not permanent. After a time, it is reset and further activations can be made. This allows you to update your computer or operating system without having to contact support.
