With QuoVadis 6 we are using a system of serial numbers and product activation for QV versions and also for our maps and elevation data. So every QV-map and every copy of the QuoVadis 6 software comes with a 35-digit serial number like this:

Seriennummer für Karte Top1123-X:
Sabse-Ddef5-c123x-1ghji8-R456M-5XyZ8

You may find it on a seperate card inside the product box or you will find it printed at the bottom of your invoice, whether you receive it by e-mail or in paper form.

Two steps are neccessary to activate QuoVadis 6 and corresponding maps:

• entering the serial number
• activation through our webserver

When you start QuoVadis 6 for the first time, a window will automatically pop up asking you to enter your serial number. Please enter your 35-digit serial number and click Ok to start the activation assistant.

If you want to try the demo-version of QV, just click Cancel and test QuoVadis 6 for 25 days with unlimited functionality.

The maps of our QV-MAP series are subject of a map unlock procedure. When opening such a map for the first time, the same window will pop up to enter your serial number. After clicking on Ok, the activation assistant will start.

If you have bought such maps for your QV4 version, you have received a 10-digit map-key, and of course you can use these maps also in QuoVadis 6. In this case please select I would like to activate a QV4 map and enter the 10-digit map-key and also the 4 to 5-digit serial number of your QV4 licence into the corresponding fields. You will find these map keys on your invoice(s) which you received when buying the maps, and your QV4 serial no on your licence document or in the QV4 main menu under ? > About../Enter licence…

Click Ok when done to start the activation assistant.

Please proceed as follows:

• In the first window you have to select if you want to unlock the map or if you only want to test it for 4 days.
• Proceed with Continue.

• In the second window choose the activation mode - You have two options:
• Online-Aktivierung - geht innerhalb von Sekunden, benötigt aber eine Internetverbindung.

In case you have requested an activation code via e-mail or through fax you will have to enter it in the QV main menu under ? > Activating QV and maps.

Just enter your 35-digits activation code and click Ok.

If you executed the manual activation using e-mail or fax mode, then you have to enter the activation key you received by e-mail through QuoVadis 6 main menu, exactly go:

? > Activation, QuoVadis Software and maps…..

• enter the 35-digit activation code you received by e-mail and click Proceed/ok.
• once the activation was successfull you receive a confirmation message and you quit the activation assistant clicking Proceed/ok

If you want to know which modules are activated in your QV installation, just choose ? > About… from the QuoVadis 6 main menu. You will find your entered user data and also a list of all activated moudules including the corresponding serial numbers.

All module activations are documented in a file named lp_QuoVadis 6b.lic which is located in the folder QuoVadis 6_Data\_Lic.

If it should be required to reinstall QV due to whatever reason, you can copy this lp_QuoVadis 6b.lic file back to your PC and overwrite the empty lic file which is generated during program installation. Thus you have reactivated all module at a glance. It is also a good idea to carry a copy of this file with you when travelling, especially in countries where internet access might be difficult.
