--------------
You can choose between two methods of activation:

a) Built-in: your serial number will be used to automatically activate
your selection of software. Just follow the instructions in the pop-up.

b) Hardware ID: by selecting this method, you can follow the normal
offline activation procedure of your product.

*** Note that it is critical to use the right serial for the product
you want to activate if you want to follow this procedure!

- Select offline activation in your ChessBase product
- Generate a serial number FOR YOUR PRODUCT and copy/paste it into
the normal ChessBaseAdminTool
- Your hardware ID will be revealed in ChessBaseAdminTool,
enter this hardware ID in the proper box in CB_Keygen
- Press "Get Activation Key"
- Copy/paste the Activation Key into ChessBaseAdminTool and press "OK"

3) If ChessBase or ChessProgram ask for a serial when starting up,
put in the serial number you generated in the first step.
It should ask for a serial number only once.

*** Note that CB13 64-bit may give weird errors and engine serial is
inactivated. Just click OK and everything should be fine!
