License Activation (PW208NX/PW208mNX)

The PDF Direct Print license is initially activated on the printer if the user has already purchased the license. A license activation key is required to perform the activation.

If the license is not activated, the PDF Direct Print will be running on Demo mode.

• The license activation should be performed by SATO technical support personnel. • Due to the limitation of the PW208NX/PW208mNX printer, we cannot enter the activation key on the printer. We can use the SATO All-In-One Tool application to send the file containing the activation key to the printer. Alternatively, if the printer is installed with the WLAN module, we can enter the activation key via a web configuration page using any browser.

The license activation procedure intended for SATO technical support personnel is as follows:

1.	Obtain the file containing the activation key issued by the license management server.

2.	Connect the printer to a computer using the USB interface.

3.	Send the file containing the activation key to the printer using the SATO All-In-One Tool application.

a.	Connect the printer using the [Add Printer] function in the All-In-One Tool application. Select USB port as printer interface.

b.	Use the [Send SBPL Command] function to send the file containing the activation key. Refer to the SATO All-In-One Tool User Manual for more details.
