...

1. Log into LAC by copying and pasting the activation key into the end user log-in screen at https://license.x-formation.com. (If you're at the vendor log in login screen, click the "Enter your activation key to get your license" link at the bottom of the log in login area to switch to the end user log in 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.
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).
