As you may know, with the release of version 11.5 of Philips SpeechExec Pro software, Philips changed their activation process. You now need to have a Speech profile account to activate new licence and the licences are a 2 year subscription term.
We've had some feedback from some IT departments that manage sites using SpeechExec Pro where they have issues activating the software using their "master" email address.
When you install SpeechExec Pro on a new workstation (SpeechExec Pro Transcribe or SpeechExec Pro Dictate), you need to download and run the installer. Once the installation is complete, you will be prompted to activate the software and will be presented with a screen as shown below;
Here are some notes on the activation options;
Product Key: This is the traditional way of activating. When you purchase the software, we send you the key usually within 30 minutes and you use this key to activate
Activation through SpeechLive Account: If you have an active SpeechLive account, you can log in with this information and that will allow you to activate the software
30-day free trial: If you don't have a Speech Profile account, you can choose this and get a 30-day trial. Note that if you have already registered your account, you may not be able to use the trial option
The next step for any of these options (Or after you have entered your product key) is to either login with your Speech Profile account or create one. This is where some of our clients are having issues.
Many sites like to have a single email address for software renewals so that a "master" user knows when renewals are up. This could also be the IT administrator. This is the process to activate multiple workstations with a single email address. Follow these steps for activations after you have already registered a SpeechProfile;
