What does Software activation code mean?
A software activation code is a value used to enable or associate a player licence or installation. It is not necessarily a streaming-account password and should be entered only in the activation workflow documented by the software publisher.
Why it matters
A player can be activated while having no content account configured, just as an active streaming account can be opened in a player whose software trial has ended. Read which product the screen refers to before paying or entering credentials. Keep private activation values out of public screenshots and use legitimate recovery or transfer procedures.
