Activating Licenses Online

  Updating an Existing License

Complete the following procedure to install or update licenses, and activate them online.
CAUTION:
If you uninstall CONNX using the Add or Remove Programs applet in the Windows Control Panel, be sure you copy any .cdd files that you may have created and stored in the CONNX32 folder structure to another location on your hard drive.
1. Start the CONNX License Administrator and click the Connect button.
The CONNX License Administrator window appears.
The server name and port should be pre-populated with the correct CONNX license server, based on selections during installation. If the server name and port are not correct, enter the proper information.
Once connected to a license server, the Install or Update license from file button, Offline license activation button, View active license locks, Update license, and Revoke License button become enabled. In addition, the hardware code of the license server (only required for off-line license activation) is displayed.
2. Select the Install or Update license from file button.
3. Select the license files that you need to install and press the Open button.
If you have a license diskette with all license files on it, you can sort by date an only select the valid license files. Multiple files can be selected by holding down the CTRL or SHIFT key.
After several seconds, the License Installed/Updated Successfully window appears, confirming valid registration and activation.
When a license is activated, it is tied to the specific server that the license server is running on and may not be activated on any other license servers unless it is first revoked from this license server. To revoke a license, select the license you wish to revoke and press the Revoke License button.
To list all licenses currently in use, in the CONNX License Administrator window, click View active license locks.
