Whether you are activating for the first time or renewing your license, this guide will help you gain access to the full MASS software

In order to be able to activate MASS, you need to know your serial number which starts with the letter B and is 31 characters long.

The example used here will be: BHHI0C0I00A1F1GC8F822M1JGWZSJ6C

You can find it on your MASS website dashboard (link will open in a new tab). Don’t have a serial number? You can purchase yours on the MASS website store by clicking here.

If you have an internet connection, the easiest way to activate is Online

If you’ve already tried to activate online and it didn’t work, click here. If you don’t have any internet connection at all, click here.

For an online activation, all you need to do is enter your serial number and click Activate.

Serial number text red instead of green? Click here

Whether your serial number text is showing up in red or green depends only on the length of the code you have entered. We added this feature to help quickly identify copying errors.

When you are taken back to the main Registration Key Code window, you’ll notice that next to License status, it will list an expiry date. At this point, you are activated and can close the window. The welcome screen will show your updated activation status the next time you launch MASS as well.

No internet? No Problem!

We’ve always had the option of activating offline because not every computer has internet and even for the ones that do, there can be problems that come along. Click here to jump to the Offline Activation guide. Please be advised that this involves contacting MASS technical support so activation may not be possible outside of regular business hours.
