Online Activation

Online activation uses the internet to exchange capability information between your license server and the back office to activate licenses on the server. This is the traditional method for activating licenses.

To activate license rights on the license server

1.

Run a command similar to the following:

flexnetlsadmin -server licenseServer_baseURL -activate -id act1 -count 2 

These options are used:

•

-id to specify the activation ID (in this example, act1) containing the license rights.

•

-count to specify the number of copies (in this case, 2) of the activation ID to be installed. If no count is provided, a count of 1 is assumed.

Note:The activation count must greater than 0 and not lower than the current count on the server.

If you want to provide multiple activation IDs, repeat the -activate option:

flexnetlsadmin -server licenseServer_baseURL -activate -id act1 -count 2 -activate -id act2 ‑count 1 

2.
