  1. You will need the Serial Number for your software. This number is supplied by Datacolor and is found on the USB case.
  2. You will need a Computer Validation Number. This number is generated by the security software and is unique to your computer.

Validation information is accessed and input in the Datacolor Validation Window shown below:Software s Datacolor Sort Software - Figure
