Activating a License Key
When you have received your license key, open or restart Tracealyzer, so you see the initial welcome screen.
Select Activate License to start the license wizard.
On the first page of the license wizard, select Activate Key Online to activate your evaluation license or other node-locked license.
In case your computer doesn’t have internet connectivity, you may select “Activate Key Offline” instead to perform offline activation (learn more below).
Note: In October 2024 Percepio introduced a new license system, where the license keys have 16 characters and requires Tracealyzer 4.10 or later. If you have an older license key with 25 characters, select “Activate Legacy License” instead.

Online activation
On the online activation page (Figure 2), enter the provided license key and click “Activate”. Tracealyzer will now restart with the license installed. Done!
Note: Online activation is no longer available for older Tracealyzer versions, prior to v4.2.2. If you are using an older version, please update to the latest version or use Offline Activation (see below).

Offline activation
If you selected offline activation, a new menu is shown on the next page (Figure 3). Start by selecting “Create License Request File”.
On the following page (Figure 4), enter your license key and specify a file name for your license request file. Click “Create”.
You now have a Licence Request file. Transfer this to a computer with internet connection and email it to support@percepio.com.
We will then activate the license for you and send a license file in return. Transfer this file to your Tracealyzer computer and install the license by selecting “Activate your product using a License File” in the offline activation menu (Figure 3).
On the following page (Figure 5), specify your license file and select “Activate”. Done!
Offline activation for multiple computers
You may perform offline activation for multiple computers with a single License Request file. In that case, first generate a License Request file for the first computer (Figure 4) and save it to a network drive or USB stick. For each additional computer, select “Append your information to existing License Request File”, specify your License Request file and select “Append”. Note that the file is in XML format, so you can read it to see which computers that have been included.
Finally send the resulting file to support@percepio.com. In return, you get a license file for all licensed computers. Save the the license file to a network drive or USB stick, and use it to activate each licensed computer (“Activate your product using a License File”). Done!
