Overview

Method to activate or reactivate the Robo-FTP license. Activation in this manner requires a live connection to the Internet. License activation is something that is only required once. Robo-FTP will run without being activated but connections to FTP sites is denied until activation is complete. Robo-FTP installs for a 30-day free trial period therefore license activation is not immediately required but should be performed as soon as possible once the product is paid for and placed into a production environment.
