- - CD with software;
- - packaging.
Instructions
Step 1
In order to find the serial number on the disc, carefully examine it and read the text written in most cases on the right side after the letters S / N. Usually it contains many characters and is used to enter into the program to generate an activation code based on it using the installer. Do not give your software serial numbers to anyone.
Step 2
Carefully inspect the packaging of your program for the presence of a serial code for the software or game you purchased. If the software product is licensed, the serial number is always written either on the box or on the disk.
Step 3
Also carefully study the documentation that may be inside the disc box. The program serial number may also appear on one of the pages of the accompanying user manual brochure. Some developers also provide for a protection system based on entering a certain word from any page of the manual into the program installer. There may be several options, and you can find out the correct sequence of actions on the official website of your software developer.
Step 4
If you purchased a version of the software preinstalled on your computer that came with a recovery disc, look for the product serial number on a special sticker usually found on your computer or on the back of your laptop.
Step 5
If you purchase MS Office software that comes with your computer, also check the license on the case. Before purchasing games and other software, always check for compliance with the licensed disc sample and do not buy software from questionable points of sale.
