To create a license order:

1. From the LAC main page, click the Licenses tab.
2. Under Menu area, click Create License Order.
3. In the Add License Order dialog's General tab, select the following:
   1. ABC Enterprises from the Customer selection list.
   2. Flagship from the Product selection list.
   3. Corporate from the Product Template selection list.
   4. To create multiple license orders (generate multiple activation keys), you can enter 2 or higher in the License Order Count field. Let's leave the license order count blank to generate only one activation key. (This should not be confused with the network license count, which indicates how many instances of a product feature can be run using the generated license. We'll look at the network license count in a moment.)
4. Click Next to accept your choices and open the HostIDs tab. The HostID settings are set according to the Corporate template settings.
5. In order to be able to activate our license later without providing a HostID, toggle the HostID locking to Not Locked.
6. Click Next to continue to the Settings tab. The values in the Settings tab are set according to the Corporate template settings.
7. Review the settings. Note that the Network License Count for both features F1 and F2 is 10, which is the default we set in the Corporate template. For our example, let's increase the number of seats from 10 to 15.
8. Click the Expand arrow at the left side of the Settings panel. This opens the Bulk Editor panel. Bulk editing lets you change settings for all features at once, instead of making changes to individual features.
9. In the Bulk Editor, enter 15 for the Network License Count. Note that the Network License Count for both features F1 and F2 change from 10 to 15. 
10. Click Save to accept the changes and return to the Licenses tab, where you will now see the order you created for ABC Enterprises added to the top of the License Orders grid.
11. To review the license order, click the Edit icon in the Action column for the ABC Enterprises license order to open the Edit License Order dialog. From this dialog, you can see all the license order details and make any needed changes to the license order. For example, using the Settings tab, you could change the template that was used for the order, which will also let you review and edit that template's settings.
12. To see the license you've created, click the Preview tab.
13. When you're done reviewing the license order details, click Close (or from the Preview tab, click OK) to close the Edit License Order dialog.
