Please read this page carefully before proceeding

A license file is required by all versions (including evaluations) of MAPublisher (version 6.0 or higher) & Geographic Imager, in order for the software to operate. Each license file is unique to a particular computer and will prevent unauthorized use of the software.

The forms on these pages are for users and evaluators who are unable to use the built-in Activation Wizard to activate their evaluation or purchased license of MAPublisher or Geographic Imager.

There are 4 scenarios for activation as follows. Please proceed according to the one that fits your situation.

1. New owners of MAPublisher or Geographic Imager who have not previously activated - continue to the form at the bottom of this page to register your new and previously non-activated license.

2. Evaluators of MAPublisher or Geographic Imager wishing to activate a 14 day trial - go to the Product Evaluation Registration page.

3. Current owners of MAPublisher of Geographic Imager who have already registered and activated and need to retrieve a license file due to a reinstall (on the same computer) - use the License Retrieval page.

4. Users who have uninstalled and moved a MAPublisher or Geographic Imager license to a new computer - contact our Activation Department with your license number and new machine ID in order to have your license rehosted to the new computer.

In all cases you will receive your license file via email.
