License Activation Center Administration Quick Start
(Note: This quick start is under construction and not yet complete. Please check back for additions to this page.)
This Quick Start takes you through a simple example of using License Activation Center (LAC) to learn how to:
- Log into LAC.
- Add products, along with selecting a license generator for the product and adding features and templates for the product.
- Add customers.
- Create license orders.
- Activate a license.
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 log in box.
If the log in box is asking for an activation key, you are on the end user log in page. Click the "Log in as a software vendor" link at the top of the log in box to switch to the vendor administration log in page.
Adding a product
In this section of the quick start, we'll add a new product called Flagship to LAC, then select the license generator to use for the product. We'll also add features and templates to the product.
To add a product:
- Click the Products tab at the top of the License Activation Center web application page.
- Under Menu in the left side bar, click Create New Product. The Create New Product dialog appears.
- Enter Flagship for the product's Name.
- Enter 1.0 for the Version. The description is optional. If you like, enter a description, such as "Our primary software product,"
- Click Save to add the product to LAC, then click Cancel to close the dialog. You'll see that Flagship has been added to the Products table.
To add a license generator for the product:
- In the Flagship product row, click the Edit icon under the Action column.
- In the Edit Product Flagship dialog that opens, click the License Generator tab.
- From the License Generator pick list, select xmllicgen as the license generator. Most of the remaining fields will be filled in. If desired, enter a description for the license generator in the Description area at the bottom of the dialog.
