The activation of all Inèdit products, whether it is with a trial license or a purchased one, runs online by connecting the user's machine and dongle to our servers.

When the network conditions are different or it is not available so that our activator server cannot be reached, it's possible to activate all Inèdit applications offline using a file that contains the activation code for the user's product and dongle number. This file has an XDAT extension and can be loaded through a dialog available in any of our applications.

To obtain the XDAT file you need to contact your local distributor. Check our distributor list to find it, https://www.inedit.com/en/company/distributors. If you found no distributors in your area then contact us, at https://www.inedit.com/en/contact.

Once you are provided with the XDAT file, the way to proceed varies depending on the application to activate.

neoStampa

1. Press and hold down the Shift key while you are opening the application. Do not release the key until the license installation dialog shows up with the program running. Go to Help | Activation Keys... to open the Activation window.

2. In the License window:

Scan the QR code to register the dongle. This registration is required to receive future updates.
Once the registration is complete and you have received the license file in .xdat format, save it in an easily accessible location, such as your Desktop.
Click the folder icon next to the license file field, browse to the .xdat file, select it, and then click Apply to install the license.

3. After activation, a dialog will display the activation result and all the requested neoStampa modules. You can open this dialog again at any time by clicking the Info... button. The license status is identified by three indicators:

Status	Description
Valid – Lifetime	The license is valid and has no expiration date.
Valid – Temporary	The license is valid but has an expiration date.
Not Valid / Expired	The license is invalid or has expired.

INFO: Be aware that if you have other Inèdit licenses too, those will be listed in red, but only the one related to neoStampa will be activated (green).

4. In the bottom-left corner of the window, you can see all detected dongles currently connected to your computer. If more than one dongle is connected, select the one you want to use for the neoStampa license activation.

5. Press OK to continue the activation. With successful activation, neoStampa starts automatically.

Update with a new Activation

If your license has been updated (for example, from a temporary license to a full-time license), you will receive a new .xdat activation file. To update the license, follow these simple steps:

Copy the new .xdat activation file to the computer desktop or to the folder where activation files are normally stored.
Ensure that neoStampa is closed and that the dongle is connected to the computer.
Open neoStampa while holding down the Shift key until the Activation window appears. Alternatively, if the program is already running, select Help > Activation Keys... to open the Activation window.
Load the new .xdat file by following the activation procedure described above.
Click the Reset... button to remove the current XDAT license and then load the new activation file.

neoTextil

1. The Activation process is a one-time action. Plug in the green dongle and run Photoshop®.

2. Go on File | Automate and then click on nT Activation Manager. You will access the Product activation dialog.

3. The Activation Manager recognizes the number of dongles (65xxxxxxx), which is shown in the Personal Code field. Using UUID activation it will show the unique identifier number of 10 digits. You can check if the dongle or the UUID number and the Personal Code coincide, by pressing on the information icon (i) next to the Personal Code.

4. If you have multiple dongles plugged into the computer, you will be able to select the one you want to activate.

5. Next, type your personal data with one user and company name in the given fields. This information is merely for your record and has no purpose in the activation process.

6. Finally, select and apply the XDAT activation file with "Load...", which Inèdit will also provide you via email or in a USB memory, together with the installer and documentation. The activation will process automatically.

7. Optionally, if you have received the activation code you can type or copy-paste the code and press the Activate button.

8. If the activation is valid, you will get the following successful activation notice:

Network dongle activation

We support net-dongle activations. The activation is managed by one local or remote activation server where multiple user stations can connect. In the activation manager, below the personal code tab, you can enable the option "Network dongle" to set up the connection to the activation server.

neoCatalog

When neoCatalog is not activated it shows a "Manual activation" button on a black screen after logging in as Administrator.
The Activation Manager window opens to apply the activation code or XDAT file that Inèdit provides you via email or in a USB memory, together with the installer and documentation.
If you have received the activation code you can type or copy-paste the code in the field of 'Activation code'.
Click on the Activate button to proceed.
To start the activation, click on the Activate button, and once applied, restart the neoCatalog instance from JavaMonitor.

NOTE: 
If you encounter issues during the activation replacement process, follow these steps:

1. The activation file is located at:
C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Inèdit Software\InSwActivation.xdat
2. Replace this file with the activation file provided by Inèdit, ensuring it has the exact same name: InSwActivation.xdat. It is recommended to first rename the existing file (as a backup) rather than overwriting it directly.
3. After replacing the file, restart the JavaMonitor service or reboot the computer, following the instructions in this document.
