Read more about activation in the Subscription Model section in the FAQ on our webpage or in the License Terms.
In case of purchasing a new PC or a total failure of your hard disk, please contact OCAD via the Transfer form for re-installation and re-activation.
In the License Transfer Utility you can transfer your license to another user. By doing so, the license on your computer will be deactivated and you can activate the license again on another one.

If the error message Internal Error http.GetHttps.Url: .../testConnection.php appears while setting up connection... then a firewall may blocks the connection.
Reactivation
If you start OCAD and have no Internet Connection, you will get a message.
License number: The number or your license.
Name: How the license is named.
Subscription start date: The date your Subscribtion has started.
Activation date: The date you have activated OCAD.
Last verification: The date your license was verified the last time.

Pending Verification
Due to the subscription model OCAD needs to check, if your license is valid. If you have no internet connection (e.g. during fieldwork), this can't be done. That's why there is a Pending Verification date.
After the Pending Verification Date, you need to start OCAD once within 30 days with an internet connection, so OCAD can verify the license again (will be done automatically at the startup). Then, the date for the Pending Verification will be shifted backwards. If you do not verify the license again in these 30 days, you can't use OCAD anymore offline until you reactivate OCAD online.
The Pending Verification date can be seen under About OCAD in the Help menu.
