Emergency License Activation

In the rare situation where licenses become invalid and not longer appear in the license administrator, and you are unable to contact technical support to resolve the issue (non-business hours, or weekend), a temporary 7 day license can be generated from http://www.connx.com/Emergency/Emergency.aspx

  1. Locate a computer that does have internet access, and go to http://www.connx.com/Emergency/Emergency.aspx.
