Validation

How it works:

MelcoRIP’s copy protection is a security-key based system which is validated by the user obtaining an “unlock code” or “activation code” from the Melco web server using the supplied “product code”. The validation is installed on a server externally of the MelcoRIP software. This means that, once validated, you can uninstall and re-install MelcoRIP as many times as you want on the same server without having to re-validate. If you wish to move MelcoRIP to a different server system, you can remove the validation.  Log onto the Melco validation server to perform the validation removal procedure, then re-install MelcoRIP on a different server and validate again.

How to Validate:

To validate MelcoRIP and get rid of the “MelcoRIP” watermark, you must purchase the software. Once purchased, you will receive a “Product Code” which you will use to obtain a "Validation Code" from Melco.
