RockWorks Auto Unlock
Single and Annual Licenses

If you purchased a Single license or an Annual license of RockWorks, you can install the software onto a single computer. The license is activated with an "unlocking code" which is supplied by RockWare. There are two methods of entering the Unlocking Code to activate the license: Automatic (easiest and discussed in this topic) and Manual.

To Auto-Unlock the license, first look for the email you received from RockWare after purchase. Specifically, you will need the License Key. If you have that email handy and if you have internet access, follow the steps listed below to activate your license.

! You must have standard user or higher privileges (e.g. administrator) to unlock the license. Restricted users should contact their system administrator.

! if you purchased a Network license please refer to those instructions.


  1. Install RockWorks if you have not done so already.
  2. Start RockWorks and click the Set Up Licensing button.
  3. Locate the RockWare-supplied email that you received.
  4. Copy the entire License Key in the email. This is a really long series of letters and numbers. It is a combination of your license Serial Number and Verification Code.
  5. Back in RockWorks, click on the Auto Unlock tab in the Licensing window.
  6. Click the Paste License Key button. The Serial Number and Verification Code fields should be filled in.
    You can copy/paste the Serial Number and Verification Code separately if you prefer.

  7. When the Serial Number and Verification Code are displayed in the fields, click the Unlock button.
  8. The RockWorks program will check in with RockWare regarding the status of your license. If it is eligible to be unlocked, RockWare will send the activation code back to the program electronically.
  9. You will see a message on the screen if the process was successful or if there was a problem.
  10. Click the Close button to close the licensing window.

The status of the license will be displayed in the lower-right corner of the main program window, showing either a Single license or a Time-Limited license.
