# Product Activation and Deactivation

# Activate / Deactivate

The Activate, Deactivate and Manual Deactivation menu items can be found on the Help menu and on the Yate>Setup menu.

The Activate... menu item is used to activate the product with your license code.

The Deactivate menu item should be used if you are no longer going to use Yate on a Mac or if you are going to do a clean install of the OS.

The Manual Deactivation menu item is used when deactivation fails due to errors. Note that manual activation is available on the activation panels.

A more detailed explanation can be found in the About Activating, Deactivating and Migrating topic.

# Validate Activation

This menu item is only found on the Yate>Setup menu (when Yate seems to be activated). For various reasons activations can be out of sync with the activation servers. This menu item checks the Mac activation against the activation servers. If the function fails, please email us at support@2manyrobots.com and include the code displayed on the error panel and your purchase email address.
