How to activate

To activate MOBILedit, select the Activate Product item in the Help menu. The Activation dialog will open up. Make sure you enter all the Activation data correctly - Name, Company and the Activation Key must be entered in exactly the same way as you received it. Since version 7 you can enter just your activation key (without name or company)


It is recommended to use Copy & Paste (CTRL+C; CTRL+V) to insert the information from the purchase confirmation to prevent any mistakes. The Activate button enables when you enter the correct key.





Some MOBILedit licence types require activation of mobile devices. MOBILedit Basic Edition, for example, is limited to activation of 2 editable phones activated at the time. You can find more information in the Online Store.

The activation is automatically offered when the new device is connected for the first time. Phones Activator allows you to manage currently activated devices. To activate a device, select the phone you want to activate and click the button below the chart. Your phone will switch into read-write mode and you can use it without any limitation. You can find more information in the description of the licence types.


Unlimited Edition, Enterprise Edition, Phone Copier and Forensic licence types do not require any phone activations.
