Bulk license orders let end users use one activation key to activate a software license (both local and network) on more than one machine by using one activation key. You create a bulk license order by specifying that multiple activations are allowed when creating/editing the license order. You can let end users activate bulk licenses on their own in any of the ways described in Activating software licenses.

To create a bulk license order:

After creating a bulk license order, the General Information area in the Licenses page shows the Activations Allowed and Activations Remaining. Our example shows that 10 activations are allowed and 10 remain, indicating that no license have been activated yet.
  
 

After activating four licenses, the number of remaining activations has decreased (from ten to six) and now indicates that we can still activate six licenses. Furthermore, the Licenses grid shows details of each activated license.

Note: Bulk licensing added the Activated Licenses grid to the Licenses page. The Activated Licenses grid includes four columns, i.e. Expiration Date, Maintenance End Date and Activation Time and HostIDs that were previously found in the License Orders grid.

Activations Allowed and Activations Remaining information change to indicate how many licenses have been activated. In the following example, 4 of the 10 licenses have been activated, so we still have 6 licenses that can be activated. Details for the activated licenses, including the HostID, the activation status (Successful or Failed) and the activation time are shown in the Licenses grid.

 Note: Since each license (under the bulk license order) is identified by a unique combination of the activation key and HostID, end users can activate bulk licenses on their own using the end-user portal, email. or the API, as described in Activating software licenses..

 Further information about activated licenses can be found in the Activated Licenses grid, including the customer name, product name and version, and the template used for the license order
