Logging into LAC

First, log into the administrative area of LAC by going to https://license.x-formation.com. From this page, log in by entering your username and password in the login box.

If the login box is asking for an activation key, you are on the end-user login page. Click the "Log in as a license administrator" link at the bottom of the login box to switch to the administrator login. 

Adding a product

In this section of the quick start, we'll add a new product to LAC called Flagship, then select the license generator to use for the product. We'll also add features and templates to the product.

...

1. Under the Menu area in the Features tab, click Create Feature.
2. Enter F1 for the Feature Name, and 1.0 for the Feature Version.
3. Click Next to create the feature, and open the Templates tab.
4. In the Templates tab, click Save without selecting a template. We'll create and use templates later.
5. Create a second feature called F2 in the same manner as described above.
6. Click Next from the Features tab to open the Templates tab. We'll create templates in the next section.

Creating templates for the product

Now, we'll create two templates for the product. One template will be for Corporate customers, who will receive 10 network licenses by default, and will have both features F1 and F2 included, with F1 an annual license and F2 a perpetual license. The other template will be for Small Business customers, who will receive one local license by default, will include only feature F1, and will expire 6 months from license activation.

...

Note that both the Corporate and Small Business templates are now available for all features in the product. To assign features to existing templates, you can use the Features tab from the Edit Product dialog. For example, if you open Feature F2 for edit, you will see that it is assigned only to the Corporate template. If you want to also include it in the Small Business template, simply select Small Business from the list of templates to include the feature in.

Adding customers

Now, we'll add a couple of customers to LAC who will be purchasing our Flagship product.

...

Enter a second customer named "XYZ Ltd" in the same manner as above. This will be our Small Business customer. The only required information for the customer is the customer name; all other information is optional.

Creating license orders

Let's create a license order for our Corporate customer:

...

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.
