Introducing the Softron License Manager Platform

Since June 2025, Softron has introduced a modern and streamlined License Activation System called the Softron License Manager.

You can continue to activate licenses directly within your Softron application using the "Licenses..." menu, while also managing all your licenses conveniently online at activation.softron.media.

Softron License Manager

The "Softron License Manager" platform is a free, easy-to-use web platform that simplifies the management of your Softron serial numbers. It is part of a new copy protection system.

Cross compatibility

No new serial numbers are required—your existing serial numbers work with both the old and new systems. However, we highly recommend upgrading to the latest versions of our applications to take full advantage of the improved licensing experience.


Can’t keep an internet connection?

If your computer cannot be connected to the internet, don’t worry — you can use a USB dongle instead. This hardware option allows license portability without needing activation or deactivation, and no internet connection is required (except when you want to add or remove licenses). One dongle can hold up to 20 licenses, and you can migrate existing serial number licenses to it.


Legacy Activation System

The previous activation system remains active, and users can still activate or deactivate using older versions of our applications.

If you are still using an older version of our applications, and your computer can't connect to the internet, you may still need to perform a manual activation or deactivation by exchanging codes with our activation server.

Activate a license (Old System)

If you are still using an older version of our applications, you must activate your license using our legacy system. When you click the “activate manually” button in your Softron application, you will be shown an activation "challenge". Copy and paste it and send it to our server together with your serial number. You will receive an activation reply that you will need to enter in your application.

Deactivate a license (Old System)

Still using a version with the previous activation method? You must activate your license using our legacy system. When you click the “deactivate manually” button in your Softron application, you will be shown "Activation" and "Deactivation" codes. Send these to our server using the link below to complete the deactivation process.
