Manual activation

If it is not possible to activate the license automatically by following the instructions above, you can activate the license manually. Click on the [Activate License Manually] button and the browser will open from which you can activate the license by following the instructions on the screen. At the end, the license file with the name FAW.lic will be generated which must be downloaded and copied to the FAW installation folder on the computer – by default the path is the following: C: \ Program Files (x86) \ FAW – Forensics Acquisition of Websites .
