The Licenses page lets you view existing license orders and create new license orders.
Viewing an existing license order
The License Orders table on the Licenses page lists information about existing licenses, including:
- Activation key
- Customer name
- Product name and version
- Template name used to create the license order
- When the license will expire (listed as "Permanent" if it will not expire, or the date of expiration if not a permanent license, or blank if the license is not yet activated).
- Activation time (the precise activation time, or "Not Activated" if the license has not yet been activated)
- Creator name (first and last name of the LAC user who created the license order)
- Creation time (the precise time the license was created in the system)
- HostID used to activate the license (listed as "Not Locked" if no HostID was required for activation, or blank if not yet activated)
The icons in the Action column let you perform actions for individual license orders, including editing, deactivating, viewing and deleting the license. You can save the information from the License Orders table and other tables in LAC as described in Exporting data from LAC.
When you edit an existing license order, an Edit License Order dialog shows the details of the license order, as well as lets you preview the license order. Using this dialog, you can change many of the settings if needed, in the same manner as described below for creating a license order. License order information that is not modifiable, such as the activation key and product, are displayed but grayed out in the Edit License Order dialog.
You can also view and modify existing license order information by editing customer information from the Customer page.
