PDFChef by Movavi
Activating without Internet
Activation requires Internet access to verify your activation key. If you don't have a working Internet connection on the computer that PDFChef is installed on, you can activate the program via email using any other computer or device. You will be asked to send us an automatically generated email and then enter the reply into the program's Activation window. You will need:
-
PDFChef activation key. You should receive your key via email right after your purchase is completed. Don't have a key? Buy now
-
A device or another computer that can be used to send and receive email.
Open the activation window
Open the Help menu and select Activate Software. The activation window will open. Or click Activate on the left-hand panel.

Enter the activation key

Send an email with the provided information
Click the Copy button to copy the information in the window. If necessary, save or transfer this information to the computer or device that you will be sending the email from.

On the device with an Internet connection, open your mail client and compose a new email. Paste the information you've copied earlier into the message body and send this email to reg@movavi.com. The activation server will then verify your activation key and send you an automatic response containing a registration key, which you will need to enter into the activation window. You should receive the server's reply within an hour.
