eSellerate Product Activation is an anti-piracy technology that publishers can use to protect the digital goods they sell through eSellerate.

 

During activation, eSellerate looks at the computer's present configuration and uses that data to create a unique hardware identification. The unique hardware identification does not include any personal information, nor does it include any information about the software or documents that reside on the computer. The hardware identification identifies only the computer's configuration, and is used only for activation purposes.

 

Once digital goods are activated on a computer, minor changes to that computer's configuration will not affect the activation. Major changes to the computer's configuration may require reactivation of the digital goods. Reactivation is at the publisher's discretion.
