Activating the License for your BCC AE 8 (and later)

1. After applying a BCC AE filter in After Effect's timeline, click Register button in the Effect Controls window.

2. This launches Registration Window which displays information about how many Days Remain in the Trial Period (if you installed it as a TNB version using the BC5AE2...number), the Name, the Company Name, First Used date and Activate By date:

3. At this point, you can enter the serial number (starting with "O" that you received upon Purchasing the product) in the Serial Number box:

Note: If you used the "O" number when installing the product then it should automatically show up in the Serial Number box.

4a. Now, you may click on either the Activate button (to activate the number live over the internet) or the Alternative button (to activate the number by e-mail or telephone):

4b. When you click the Alternative button, a window comes up showing the Unique Product ID number which you must provide to Boris FX to receive the Unlock Code for that system:

Note: You need to click Alternative button if you do not have the "O" number or if you do not want to Activate live over the internet. You must then provide the Unique Product ID number to Boris FX to receive the Unlock Code for that system. Unlock Code is needed to license the product when you choose the Alternative option.

5. Once the number is activated (either via Activate button or via Alternative button), a window comes up stating that the product is now Licensed on that system. You can deactivate the number at any time by clicking on the Deactivate button to be able to install & activate/license the product on another system:

6. The BorisFX button within the Activation Window should launch the system web browser and go to the borisfx.com web site's home page. Clicking on Store button should launch the system web browser and go to the borisfx.com web site's products purchase page & clicking on Register button should launch the system web browser and go to the borisfx.com web site's products registration page . Clicking on the ? button launches this document.
