How to Retrieve Your UUID for SnowConvert Offline Activation in Linux

SnowConvert requires a UUID to validate the license for offline activation in Linux. Follow these steps to find and provide the UUID:

Step 1: Open a Terminal

To begin, open a terminal on your Linux system by:

• Pressing Ctrl + Alt + T

• Searching for "Terminal" in your application menu

Step 2: Retrieve the UUID of the Root Device

You need to obtain the UUID of your root device. Try the following commands in the given order until you get a valid UUID.

Option 1: Primary Command

Run the following command first:

findmnt / -o UUID -n

If successful, it will return a UUID similar to this:

5a14ccf7-6bac-47b7-a3d6-6c10822fb10d

Option 2: Alternative Command (If Option 1 Fails)

If the first command does not return a UUID in a single line, try:

blkid -s UUID -o value $(findmnt -n -o SOURCE /)

Expected output:

5a14ccf7-6bac-47b7-a3d6-6c10822fb10d

Option 3: Last Resort (If the Previous Commands Fail)

If neither of the above commands work, use:

lsblk -nro UUID

This must return only one UUID. If multiple UUIDs are listed, this method will not work. Ensure that the output contains a single valid UUID, or try one of the previous methods again.

Step 3: Send the UUID

Once you have retrieved the correct UUID, copy it and send it to the SnowConvert support team for activation.
