Product activation

Product activation is a way of making sure that people buy the right number of copies of a product and prevent people from using a product without paying for it. It works by giving the user a unique code to activate their product. This code is given when they buy the product. When they enter the code, the product is then unlocked and they can use it. This makes it so that only people who have bought the product can use it, and makes it so that people can't make multiple copies of the product.
