Radmin Activation

Only Radmin Server 3 requires activation after the 30-day trial period. If you don’t activate the software after 30 days, you won’t be able to use it. After purchasing a license, you will get your License key. Use it to activate Radmin Server 3.
The License key for Radmin 3 is valid for any Radmin 3.x versions.

Radmin Viewer 3 is free of charge and doesn't require activation.

How does product activation work?

Product activation technology controls the number of software installations. It verifies that a license key has not been used on more computers than was intended by the product's license.

After purchasing a Radmin Server 3 license you will get your License key. You have to enter it when following the activation process. The program generates a hardware identification key which is sent to the activation server. No personal data is included or required.

How do I activate Radmin Server 3.x within a large network?

What happens if I get a new computer and want to install Radmin Server 3.x on it?

For the new computer, you will need a new Radmin Server activation.
