Where Is the Pinnacle Activation Key?
When searching for the activation key for software from Pinnacle, the first place to look is on the confirmation email you received when purchasing or registering your product. In the event of problems, you can request that the company provide you with a new activation key.
-
Background
-
Pinnacle is a software company offering a range of multimedia software including DVD authoring and video editing. Pinnacle uses activation keys as an anti-piracy measure and the keys are required to unlock blocked program features in terms with the software license agreement.
Usage
-
Pinnacle activation keys are electronically generated and are tied to an individual computer. When you purchase Pinnacle software online a key is generated for your system and emailed to you. If you are using the same computer you made the purchase on, you do not need to enter the key into your Pinnacle software. On a different computer, you can manually enter the key via the "Help" menu.
-
Support
-
As Pinnacle activation keys are specific to a computer, you will need to contact Pinnacle technical support if you move the software to a different PC. There is an automatic form on the Pinnacle website to assist those who have lost their activation key (see References).
