On this page we explain how to license your signotec product.
Please follow the instructions associated with your software to activate your purchased product.
Licensing via software code applies to the following products:
- signotec signoSign R5
- signotec Adobe Plug-in
- signotec signoAPI
- signotec Biometrics API

Different licensing is available for the following products:

You can test signoSign/2 in version 11.0.0 and newer free of charge. During the test period, watermarks are inserted into the document.
To unlock the software after purchase, request your licence key by emailing lizenz@signotec.de. You will then receive a licence key consisting of letters and numbers in the following format:
XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXX
You enter this licence key in the licensing of the software. The software will then be activated automatically.
Step by step
- If you have purchased a user licence and have not yet received it, please request the licence key by e-mail: lizenz@signotec.de.
- Open signoSign/2 and start the licence dialogue via "Help -> Licensing".
- Insert the licence key into the field "Enter licence key" and then press "Check input".
- Your software activates automatically and displays the licence information in the dialogue. All previously made settings and configurations will of course be retained.
In our documentation for online licensing you will find all important information about licence management.
ATTENTION!
signotec always provides only the latest software version. Without a software maintenance agreement (AMS), the use of newer versions is subject to a charge.
Therefore, please keep both the licence key and the setup carefully. You can use them again in the event of a system move or a new installation.
You can test signoSign/2 for 30 days without restrictions. After the trial period expires, the application will refuse further use and you will need to activate the software.
To activate the software, you will receive a licence file (.lic) by e-mail.
Depending on the licence file used, more or fewer options can be used in signoSign/2, such as use with a Windows Tablet-PC or the activation of additional plug-ins.
Step by Step:
- If you have purchased a licence and have not yet received it, please request the licence file by e-mail at: license@signotec.de.
- Save the licence file from the e-mail attachment on your PC (for example the desktop). This file can NOT be opened! Please follow step 3!
- Start signoSign/2 and open the licence dialogue via "Help -> Licensing".
- Use "Use licence file" to insert the licence file, which you have stored in advance on your computer (Step 2). To do so, click on the search button "[...]".
- Your software will automatically activate and display the licence information in the dialogue. All previously made settings and configurations are preserved.
ATTENTION!
signotec only provides the latest software versions. Without a software maintenance contract (AMS), the use of the newer versions is subject to a charge.
Please keep both the licence file and the setup carefully. You can reuse them in the event of a system move or reinstallation.

After the start of signoSign/mobile for Android you will be offered an End User Licence Agreement for approval.
After confirming, the app will check online, if your device is already licensed. If this is not the case, you can enter the purchased licence in the 'User ID' field.
When licensing, please make sure to enter the licence key as you received it. Dashes count as seperators!
Example: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
ATTENTION!
If you want to change your device, please release your registered licence in advance. The licence will not be released by uninstalling the software. This can only be done via the button 'Release licence'. In the event that your device is lost or completely destroyed, please keep the IMEI numbers of your devices carefully in order to ensure the licence of signotec!
Release of the licence:
- In 'Help' you will find important information about 'signoSign/mobile' as well as contact details and the status of your licence.
- If the application is licensed and you would like to release the used licence so that it can be used on another device, you can do it via 'Release licence'.
