Applicable SongShow Plus Versions: 
This article applies to all SongShow Plus 9.x versions.

Thank You for using SongShow Plus!

From time to time you may need to manage the SongShow Plus licenses that you have. 

NOTE: Activation and license Managment requires an active internet connection.  If you do not have this, contact the Support Team for Offline activation.

There are 5 operations available to users for SongShow Plus license management:

• Activate License 
• Deactivate License 
• Switch License 
• Convert to Projection  
• Recover License 

If you are not sure this is the correct operation, refer to FAQ55 for additional information.

You will need the following to successfully activate SongShow Plus:

• Your organization's Customer Account ID and password (to find/acquire the license).  If you need help finding this, refer to FAQ010.
  
• Local system administrator rights (to apply the license) for the machine you are activating.

To activate SongShow Plus 9.x for non-evaluation use (Projection or Workstation) do the following:

1. Once SongShow Plus is installed a desktop shortcut will appear - click that link to launch SongShow Plus.
2. A message indicating activation is needed should be presented. Click OK to proceed.

   3. If the license you want to use is not shown, choose the "Re-use and existing license" option and select the desired license from the list and click Next.
      NOTE: If there are no licenses available, the user may purchase (projection - FAQ053) or create (workstation - FAQ051) one through a separate process. Please refer to the designated articles for more information.
