To activate the new Blancco Erasure Software licenses you will receive an email, which contains the product key(s) for the activation. The email also includes steps how to activate your product key(s). You can choose online or offline activation. Online activation requires an Internet connection and a HASP-key needs to be connected to the machine where activation will be done. Offline activation doesn't require internet connection, but you will need to generate a request file (C2V-file) and upload it to the License Activation Portal. After uploading the file, you will receive a response file (V2C-file) which can be activated to the HASP-key without internet connection.
This guide is for Offline activation, for Online activation see the article "Online EMS license activation to a HASP key". For activating license through your local Blancco Management Console (3.6.1 or newer) see the article "Offline EMS license activation with Blancco Management Console".
