To let ABC Enterprises activate their license, you simply copy and paste the Activation Key from the License Orders table into an email with instructions on activating the license.

Let's now assume that you are the end user at ABC Enterprises and want to activate your license.

To activate the license:

1. Log out of the administrative area of LAC (using the Log Out link in the upper right corner of the page).
2. Log into LAC by copying and pasting the activation key into the end user login screen at https://license.x-formation.com. (If you're at the vendor login screen, click the "Enter your activation key to get your license" link at the bottom of the login area to switch to the end user login screen.) This opens a Licenses page that list the license details, including the product name, version, license type, and other details. When a host ID is required, this page specifies the host ID type that is needed to activate the license. Since we changed the host ID type to "Not Locked," no host ID type is needed to activate the license.
3. Click Activate. 
4. After the license is activated, click Download to get the license. The license is downloaded as a .lic file, can be renamed and placed in an appropriate directory as required to run the licensed software. The license can be re-downloaded anytime, as long as the license is valid (not expired).
