Manual activation of your XLRISK license

When should I opt for a manual activation?

The failure of automatic activation can either come from the absence of an Internet connection or from a firewall blocking communications with the XLRISK server. Manual activation is the solution.

Please note that this process requires at least Internet access via browser. This access can be done from a computer other than the one where XLRISK will be installed.
