Hi everyone.
It asks for an activation code because the installer provided on the DVD is not up to date.
It is an old version ( Spark 1.6 ) which isn't Spark2 yet, and which still uses the Elicenser protection with an activation code.
But now we are using the Arturia Software Center to manage the licenses authorizations, and the updates.
If you are facing this Activation code issue:
===>>> Update your Spark through the Arturia Software Center.
It will solve your problem.
Send me PM if you need further informations.
Best regards, and sorry for the inconvenience.
