How to use a serial key to activate a machine without internet connection

If you have a media server that you can’t or don’t want to connect to the internet. Either you are ready to move your license to a License Dongle, or otherwise using a serial key file, or AKS file, is the solution.
First you need to register the product to your personal account.
If your license has been purchased through the online shop, then it is automatically registered to your account. Otherwise go to the website https://pro.arkaos.com and create an account or log in to your existing account. Once you are logged in your account, click on “Register a product”
This button will bring you to a page where you can enter the activation code.

In your account, you will find an option on the right called “My licenses”.
If you select this option, all your registered products will be displayed:
Click on “View” and choose “Add Serial key”. You will be prompted for the Machine ID and the name of the machine to help you identify the machine later on.
The Machine ID is a unique identifier generated by the software for your machine. Please note that different versions of the software can return different Machine ID, so make sure you are checking the Machine ID within the correct MediaMaster version. In MediaMaster 6 it can be found at the bottom right of the Software Activation dialog.

Press the button “Generate serial key”. A new tab called “Key” will appear with a button to download your serial key or .aks file. It can be copied for instance to a USB key and transferred to the computer without internet connection for the activation of MediaMaster.

Run MediaMaster 6. If the product is not yet activated, the Software Activation dialog below will appear directly. Otherwise it can be accessed from File, Preferences, go to the Activation tab and click Manage License.
Choose the “Use Serial Key File” option and press Next. Select the .aks file generated previously.
