How to activate NetSpot on Windows and macOS

Having trouble activating your NetSpot license? We’ll be more than happy to help, but before you email us, give it another try, following our instructions below:

  1. When registering your NetSpot on Windows, make sure you are running the app as an administrator. To do so open the Start menu and find NetSpot on the list. Right-click its icon –> select “More” from the menu that appears –> select “Run as administrator.”
  1. Copy the activation code from the email and paste it into the registration window.

  • Make sure there are no excessive spaces before/after/in your code;
  • There should only be letters, digits, and dashes in the code;
