Dauntless support
Windows may not be saving the activation
If activation reports success but the software remains locked, or asks you to activate it each time, it may be unable to save the activation information on your PC.
Check administrator permissions
- Restart the PC and sign in with an account that has administrative access.
- If necessary, download the installer again and reinstall the software with administrative privileges.
- Run the software with administrative privileges when completing activation.
On a work or managed PC, ask your system administrator for help. An account name or ownership of the PC does not by itself confirm that an application is running with administrative privileges.
Check security-software interference
Antivirus or internet-security software may prevent installation or saving activation information. Review its settings with your administrator or its support provider. If temporarily disabling it is part of that troubleshooting, restart before retrying the installation and restore normal protection afterward.
* An Activation Code may also be called an Unlock Key, Unlock Keycode, Unlock Code, Keycode, Registration Code, License Key, or Serial Number. The label in your purchase email or software may vary.
