Perform manual product activation

Updated: September 12, 2023

If you install the QNX Software Development Platform or other QNX products on a development host without an Internet connection, you must activate the products manually.

Note:

To complete the following steps, you’ll need a separate system that is connected to the Internet.

The following steps assume that you are either in the Manage License Keys perspective of the QNX Software Center (you can access this perspective from the Welcome screen) or in the License Key Selection dialog of an installation wizard.

To perform manual product activation:

  1. Add a license key for the product you wish to activate:

    1. Click Add License Key.
    2. Enter the key in the License key field, then click OK. If you're prompted to log in to your myQNX account, click Cancel. You'll see an error dialog.
    3. Click Manual Activation, then go to step 2.

    If you've already added the key (i.e. it appears in the Manage License Keys perspective), do the following:

    1. Right-click the key, then select Activate. If you're prompted to log in to your myQNX account, click Cancel. You'll see an error dialog.
    2. Click Manual Activation, then go to step 2.
  2. In the Activate License Key dialog, select Manual activation. The dialog displays a prompt key.

    Leave the dialog open so you can complete the following steps.

  3. From a system connected to the Internet, go to your myQNX profile (https://www.qnx.com/account/index.html) and click the Manual Product Activation link.
  4. In the Activate prompt key field, enter the prompt key generated by the QNX Software Center, then verify that the named email address is correct.
  5. Click Generate Response Key to generate your activation key.
  6. Go back to the QNX Software Center and copy your activation key into the Activation key field.
  7. Click OK to complete the activation.
