Contents of the software
package
Your HELIOS software package includes an ISO 9660
CD-ROM, software manuals (depending on the products you purchased), and an "Activation Key Request" form that serves to request the individual key (kind of password) you need to license and run the software.
Your individual software activation key has to be entered during the server installation process. Without the activation key, you can run the software in a 3-hour demo mode only. The generation of your key is based on the machine ID of your server, your HELIOS product serial number, and the number of users you have licensed the software for.
HELIOS user expansion licenses
Keep in mind that - in case you buy several HELIOS user expansion licenses - you should make a long-term decision about which license you want to use on which server machine and about which license you want to use as the base product for expansions. These expansions always remain bound to the original EtherShare, PCShare or WebShare product.
We have enclosed with our software package an "Activation Key Request" form that has to be used for obtaining the key.
The form already contains your 8-digit HELIOS product serial number. You have to add your ("Enduser") name and address, and the machine ID of your server.
The machine ID consists of "8-2" digits. The last two characters serve to identify the make of the machine. We have implemented in our product installer a program that displays the machine ID automatically. So, to find out your server's machine ID, you have to proceed as follows:
Note: For Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux machines, the machine ID is provided by a HELIOS USB-dongle, which you receive from your dealer, and which you have to plug in first.
Mount our distribution CD-ROM and follow the instructions given in the accompanying booklet to open the "HELIOS Installer main menu" that is shown in Fig.
0-1. Note that the commands that are required to mount the
CD-ROM are different on different platforms. That is why we have listed all of them in the CD's booklet. After writing down the machine ID, which is marked in Fig.
0-1, quit the menu.

Fax or mail the "Activation Key Request" form to HELIOS Software GmbH, Steinriede 3, 30827 Garbsen, Germany, Fax: +49-5131-70 93 25.
Please note that
- we only accept requests by fax or regular mail.
- in some countries, the keys are issued by our distributors. You should ask your dealer for details.
What you will get in return
On receipt of your request form we will generate your individual activation key and then send you an "Activation Key Reply" summarizing the data you need for software activation, namely:
- Your HELIOS product serial number (digits given in line "Serial:")
- The machine ID of your server (hexadecimals given in line "MachID:")
- The number of clients you can connect (digits given in line "Units:")
- Your HELIOS product Activation key (characters given in line "Checksum:")
