Step 1.
The first step involves pasting your Product License into the OtsAV OtsReg dialog box. See below for an example of a Product License.
Step 2.
The second step involves taking the Machine License REQUEST, which is generated by OtsAV, to an internet-connected-machine and pasting it into the OtsZone.com web page. See below for an example of a Machine License REQUEST.
Step 3.
The third and final step involves taking the Machine License, which OtsZone.com has generated, back to the non-internet-connected machine and pasting it into OtsAV OtsReg window. See below for an example of a Machine License.
You will need to use a text editor, like Notepad, during the licensing process. You will need to create a simple text file that you will use to transport the license information between the non-internet-connected machine and the Internet connected machine. You will also need a transportable medium to transfer the text file, a floppy disk will suffice.
You can find Notepad by going to Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Notepad.
In preparation you will need to copy the Product License into Notepad and save the file onto a floppy disk, save it as License.txt.
How to create the License.txt file
Highlight your Product License, all 10 lines of text. (Your Product License can be found in your OtsAV License email or can be retrieved from OtsZone.com).
Right-click and select Copy.
Open Notepad, go to Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Notepad.
Right-click and select Paste.
Go to File -> Save in the Notepad menu, name the file License.txt.
Copy this file onto a floppy disk so you can transport it to the non-internet-connected machine.
