Some the programs available on the Soft4Boost website are shareware and require activation. It means that you can use any of the programs right after downloading and installing it. There is some feature limitations for them. If you'd like to get software with no limitations, you should activate the programs.
One can activate the Soft4Boost software only after purchasing a subscription. On our website two subscription types are offered. After acquiring one of them on the registration page you'll receive an e-mail from us, where you can find some instructions for installing and activating the Soft4Boost programs and your personal license key.
