How do I activate via command line?
The software is installed but not activated on multiple Windows computers. This may be because the automatic activation was unsuccessful during installation. It may be because the software was included in a system image that was applied to client computers.
Resolution
Activation is performed by CrickActivate.exe in the software's Program Files folder.
It connects to activate.cricksoft.com/activate via HTTPS (Port 443).
