Registration key

Registration key - a set of numbers and letters needed to confirm a license, install and use some computer programs. The key length can be any, but most often the key has a length of 10 to 30 characters.

A registration key is needed in order to confirm the uniqueness of a copy of the software. The registration key is most often written on the packaging, disk or in the accompanying documentation. Less often, the registration key is located on the disk with the installation program.

In the case of software distribution according to the Shareware model, the registration key is your own product purchased from the seller, since the program itself can usually be downloaded from the Internet and used in a limited amount.
