Manually activating licenses
Manually activating licenses is feasible for issuing fewer numbers of licenses, but is difficult to manage for larger numbers of license activations.
...
- You ask the end user to run the LM-X End-user utility or End-user Configuration tool to obtain their HostID(s).
- The end user sends you their HostID(s).
- Using xmllicgen, you enter the HostID tag(s) in the license template and generate a license file, which you send to the customer. The LM-X License Generator GUI lets you send emails with license file attachments to your end users, making license delivery quick and easy.
Partially automating license activation
You can partially automate your license activation by using the LM-X API to integrate HostID retrieval into your application. This enables you to obtain the information in a more automated way. You can also automate the execution of xmllicgen by integrating it with any custom license generation tools. License delivery would be the same as for manual license activation.
Fully automating license activation
We highly recommend using LM-X together with LAC for the ultimate solution to license activation, particularly for managing greater numbers of activations.
