Activating without internet

For a show PC that never goes online: activate and check in with a file.

BeatAtlas can activate, check in and start the demo with a small file that you carry on a USB stick to any device with a browser.

  1. On the show PC: Settings > Licence > Activate without internet. Type your key, then save the request file (it ends in .bareq) to a USB stick.
  2. On any computer or phone with internet: open the activation page, choose the file and upload it. You get back a licence file (it ends in .balic).
  3. Back on the show PC: Load licence file, or drag the file onto the BeatAtlas window. Done.

A licence made this way lasts 90 days, never less than an online check-in. Before it ends, BeatAtlas reminds you, and Renew by file makes the next request file: there is nothing to type that time.

A request file for activation contains your key. Delete it after use. Renewal files contain no key.

Lost the file? Make the request file again writes the same request again; uploading either copy, or both, gives the same answer.
