How can I obtain an emergency key file?

Every software license that is under maintenance comes with the possibility of obtaining an emergency keyfile.‍ This measure exists in case your software is deactivated unexpectedly, and the normal reactivation process doesn't work. This key file reactivates your software‍ for seven days, which allows you to continue your work in case of emergency while our support team helps you to reactivate your software.

Please note that you can only obtain a limited amount of emergency key files depending on your maintenance package, so it should only be used in an emergency.
