   Welcome to the Associate This Validator

In order to register your copy of Associate This, you must purchase a license and obtain a valid serial number from Spearit Software.  After you enter the serial number on the Enter Serial Number dialog, Associate This uses your Internet connection to communicate with the Spearit web site and verify that the serial number is valid.

If you have not yet purchased a license, see Obtaining a Valid Serial Number for Associate This.

If you have a valid serial number but the computer you want to register Associate This on does not have Internet access, you can run the Associate This Validator on another computer that is able to access the Internet.  The Validator provides you with a Validation Code that allows the registration process to complete on the first computer.

Using the Validator involves these simple steps:

1.	Make sure that the copy of Associate This that you want to register is running on the first computer.

2.	Select Register (Buy) Now from the Help menu of the Associate This Task List or Extension List.

3.	DO NOT enter your serial number on the Enter Serial Number dialog that appears.  Instead, click the No Internet Access button.  (The Get Validation Code dialog appears on your screen.)

4.	Install Associate This on another computer that is capable of accessing the Internet.  The computer can be at another location as long as you can communicate with someone at that computer OR physically go to that computer.

(The person at the second computer will need to enter the serial number you received from Spearit Software as well as the Network Name and Session Code that appear on the Get Validation Code dialog on the first computer.)

5.	Run the Validator on this second computer by clicking Start/Programs/Associate This/Associate This Validator. (The Welcome screen displays.)

6.	Click Next to display the Network Name dialog.

7.	Type in the Network Name that is displayed on the first computer and then click Next.

8.	Type in the Session Code that is displayed on the first computer and then click Next.

9.	Now enter the serial number you received from Spearit Software and click Next.  Associate This validates the information you entered and displays a Validation Code.

10.	Enter the Validation Code on the Get Validation Code dialog on the first computer and click OK.  Associate This automatically enters your serial number into the Enter Serial Number dialog.

11.	Click OK to complete your registration.


  Obtaining a Valid Serial Number for Associate This

To purchase a license and obtain a valid serial number for Associate This:

1.	Run Associate This.

2.	Select Register (Buy) Now from the Help menu on the Associate This Task List or Extension List.

3.	Click the Buy Now button.  The Buy Now dialog that appears offers you three methods of purchasing a license.

Integrated Purchase
This is the easiest way to purchase a single license.  When you click the Integrated button, Associate This connects to our e-commerce partner via a secure Internet connection and walks you through the purchase process.

Web Purchase
If you prefer to purchase directly from our web site using your favorite web browser, click the Web button.  Your browser opens and takes you to our web store where you can read about and purchase Associate This and our products.

Phone Purchase
Both of the Internet-based methods use a secure connection and are as safe (or safer) than credit card orders placed in an on-site retail store.  However, we understand that some people are not comfortable using their credit card over the Internet.  If you prefer to place your order and obtain your serial number over the phone, click the Phone button to obtain instructions on ordering by phone or fax.

4.	Once you obtain your serial number:
If the computer has Internet access, type your serial number in the Enter Serial Number dialog and click OK.
If the computer does not have Internet access, run the Associate This Validator on another computer.
