Product Authorization
Part of the B4 II installation is a Product Authorization which has to be fulllled
in order to make permanent use of the software. We recommend that you
take notice of this chapter rst, then proceed with the software installation as
described in the following chapters and nally return to this chapter.
What is the Product Authorization?
The Product Authorization includes a full registration. After having completed
the authorization, you can make use of all online services related to the
registered product. On the Native Instruments website you can read online
tutorials, get technical support, participate in the NI forums and download
updates.
B4 II requires the Product Authorization in order to use the software perma-
nently. You can run B4 II for 30 days without any limitations. As long as the
software runs unauthorized a message at every program start reminds you
that the authorization has not been completed yet and indicates how many
more days the software is running without an authorization.
The Product Authorization is performed by a small application called
Registration Tool. The Registration Tool generates a so called System ID
which serves as request code for receiving an Authorization Key. The System
ID is based on some hardware components of your computer system, the
operating system version and the serial number you have entered at the B4
II installation.
