Local Online Activation
In this exercise, you activate a PhotoPrint-server license from the FlexNet license server’s trusted storage on the client.
To activate a local license using appactutil
| 1. | At a command prompt in the <platform_dir>, to activate a server-side license in client-side trusted storage, enter |
appactutil -served -commServer <port@hostname> -entitlementID <ent_ID>
where
| ○ | <port@hostname> is 27000@localhost, the license server |
Note:For purposes of this exercise, the default port number 27000 is used. If 27000 is not the port assigned to the license server, specify the correct one in the command.
| ○ | <ent_ID> is the Entitlement ID you recorded in Step 5 of the Server-Side Online Activation exercise |
This command does the following:
| ○ | Creates an activation request that contains the entitlement ID |
| ○ | Sends the activation request to the license server |
Note:In your production environment, best practice is not to assign a default port for the license server. Instead, for security purposes, assign a port number outside of the range 27000 through 27009.
| ○ | Places one fulfillment record from the license server’s trusted storage into the client machine’s trusted storage |
