  1. From the LAC main page, click the Licenses tab.
  2. Under Menu in the left sidebar, click Create License Order.
  3. In the Add License Order dialog's General tab, select the following:
    1. ABC Enterprises from the Customer drop-down list.
    2. Flagship from the Product drop-down list.
    3. Corporate from the Product Template drop-down list.
  4. Click Next to accept your choices and open the Settings tab. The Settings tab presents you with the settings that are specified in the template you selected, in this case, the Corporate template.
  5. All the template settings can be overridden when you create a license order, so review the template settings and make any changes you would like.
  6. In order to be able to activate our license later without providing a host ID, change the HostID Type setting to "Not Locked."
  7. Click Save to accept the changes and After making any changes, click Save. You will 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 table. .
  8. To see the license you've created, click the Edit icon in the Action column for the ABC Enterprises license order, then click the Preview tab in the Edit License Order dialog. From here, you can also make any changes to the license order. For example, you could change the template that was used for the order, which will also let you review and edit the template settings.

If you like, create a license order for the Small Business customer in the same way described above, selecting XYZ Ltd as the customer and Small Business as the product template.

Activating a license

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 into LAC by copying and pasting the activation key into the end user log-in screen at https://license.x-formation.com/loginImage Added. (If you're at the vendor log in screen, click the "Enter your activation key to get your license" link at the bottom of the log in area to switch to the end user log in 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.
  2. Click Activate. 
  3. After the license is activated, click Download to get the license. The license is downloaded as a .lic file, which the user can rename and place 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).

This concludes the LAC Administration Quick Start. For complete information about LAC features, including the LAC API, see the LAC Vendor Guide.
