# How to send email notifications when an activation attempt is detected When an activation attempt is detected, QLM creates a record of that detection in the system. You can read more about activation attempts [here](/docs/how-to/fraud-detection-illegal-computers-and-activation-attempts.md). This article describes 2 approaches to dealing with activation attempts: * Send yourself (the vendor) an email notification when an activation attempt is detected * Send the customer a notification when an activation attempt is detected. ### How to send yourself an email report of activation attempts **Create a search** * Launch the QLM Management Console * Go to the Manage Keys tab * Click the Search drop-down and select Edit searches * Create a new search as follows (the search should already exist): * Name: Alert Activation Attempt * Table: Activation Attempts * SQL: ActivationDate > \[date] and ActivationDate > '2020-04-29 12:00 PM'(the hard code date here is required to avoid sending an email to all customers already in the Activation Attempts table - change to hard coded date to today's date) **Create a Scheduled Task** * Launch the QLM Management Console * Go to the Manage Keys tab * Click Scheduled Tasks * Create a new scheduled task as follows: * Name: Activation Attempts Report * License Server: \ * Search: Alert Activation Attempt * Run Every: 1 Day * Send Mail To: \ * CC: \ * Subject: Activation Attempts Report * Email Template: Vendor.ActivationAttemptsReport With the setup above, you will receive a daily report of all detected activation attempts. ### How to send your customer a notification when an activation attempt is detected **Create a search** * Launch the QLM Management Console * Go to the Manage Keys tab * Click the Search drop-down and select Edit searches * Create a new search as follows (the search should already exist) * Name: Alert Activation Attempt * Table: Activation Attempts * SQL: ActivationDate > \[date] and ActivationDate > '2020-04-29 12:00 PM'(the hard code date here is required to avoid sending an email to all customers already in the Activation Attempts table - change to hard coded date to today's date) **Create a Scheduled Task** * Launch the QLM Management Console * Go to the Manage Keys tab * Click Scheduled Tasks * Create a new scheduled task as follows: * Name: Activation Attempt Per Customer * License Server: \ * Search: Alert Activation Attempt * Run Every: 1 Day * Send Mail To: Customer (for testing purposes, you may want to set this after your tests are completed) * CC: \ * Subject: Activation Attempt * Email Template: Customer.ActivationAttempt With the setup above, your customer will receive a daily report notification of activation attempts. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
