License Activation

Under the License Activation section, the Activation Key field displays the key currently in use, or if the license has no associated activation key (as is the case for trial licenses), a series of X's is displayed as a placeholder for the key.

  • To activate a new license (for example, after a new license purchase), enter the key in the Activation Key field and click Activate
  • To reactivate the same license (for example, after extending your maintenance or after X-Formation has changed your license parameters), click Activate without changing the Activation Key field contents.

The new activation will replace the previously used license.

License Upload

The License Upload section lets you upload a license file directly in cases where activation is not possible or is not preferable; for example:

  • Due to no internet connection on the License Statistics host, the license was activated on a different machine or downloaded from the License Activation Center end-user portal 
  • The license already exists as a file
  • You obtained a license file from X-Formation Support or Sales

The new license upload will replace the previously used license.

License Preview

The License Preview section shows the date and time that the license was last updated, and after a new license has been activated/uploaded, displays the content of the current license (for informational purposes only).

License usage notifications

A popup notification will alert you if you are reaching your licensed limit for users/hosts. The notification is activated at 80%, 90%, and 95% usage thresholds, as those thresholds are exceeded. For example, after exceeding the 80% threshold, a notification similar to the following will popup on the screen:

You can:

  • Click OK to dismiss the notification for the current threshold level for 1 day.
  • Click Dismiss to dismiss the notification for the current threshold level for 7 days.

A new notification will appear if a higher threshold is exceeded, regardless of dismissal. For example, if you dismiss a notification for reaching the 80% threshold, a new notification will appear within that dismissal period if the usage exceeds 90%.
