Using TurboActivate

TurboActivate comes in 2 parts: the library and the wizard. The TurboActivate library must be included with your application to add trial support along with serial number and online activation protection to your app.

The TurboActivate wizard is completely optional but recommended. It adds a simple Windows 7 or Office 2010 looking activation wizard. Read more about using the TurboActivate wizard.
