Offline Activation
If iMacros license activation fails because your computer is not connected to the internet, or a firewall has blocked iMacros activation client to communicate with Ipswitch servers, you still may activate iMacros using the offline process.
The process requires that you have access to a computer with a browser able to connect to the internet.
Generate an offline activation file
The offline activation file (OFA file) is generated in the offline machine, using iMacros activator ipsactive.
- Open a command prompt and change to the directory containing Ipsactive.exe.
- Run Ipsactive.exe using the appropriate RRN value for the version you are activating.
- Enter your activation key in Ipsactive UI and un-check the box in order to force offline activation.
- Follow the instructions on the UI to generate an offline activation file. Copy the file to a machine with internet access.
- After generating the offline activation file (license.ofa), click Cancel to exit the Ipswitch Product Activation app.

Download a license file
The license file is created in Ipswitch activation servers, therefore you need to have access to the internet from the computer where you are going to perform the next steps.
- Open a web browser and navigate to https://community.ipswitch.com/s/offline-activation.
- Select 'Upload OFA File' for the method of offline activation and click Submit.
- Browse to the file you have brought from the offline computer (here license.ofa) in order to upload it.
- Save license.txt and transfer it to the offline computer.
Copy license file to offline computer
iMacros 2021 (v14.x)
- Copy the license.txt file to the iMacros program folder, typically C:\Program Files\Progress\iMacros.
- iMacros is now activated.
iMacros 10.1 - 12.6
- Copy the license file to any place in the offline computer.
- Open the iMacros License Activation dialog.
- Personal Edition: Windows Start Menu > iMacros > Activate iMacros license
- Pro/Enterprise: Open the iMacros browser and select Activate iMacros in the Help menu.
- Click on Have a license file?
- Browse to the license.txt file and confirm. iMacros will move the license file to the right location and, after restart, iMacros is activated.
