When you enter the End User Portal to activate a license under the bulk license order, you see a page similar to the following:
Note that if no licenses have been activated yet, the Download button does not appear. From this page, you can either activate a new license or download an existing license, as described in "Activating a new license" and "Downloading an existing license", below.
Activating a new license
The following example shows that 30 activations are allowed and 24 remain, indicating that 6 licenses have been activated. Let's activate a new license under this license order.
To activate a new license:
- Open the activation form by clicking the Activate button.
A page opens that shows information you need to enter to activate your license.
- Enter the required HostID information, such as Ethernet, Hostname, IP Address, Username, etc. You can also import HostIDs from the string as a comma-separated list of types and values (for example, USERNAME=John, HOSTNAME=office.john) by clicking the Import button.
- If specified, select the Optional HostID Type. This is an optional field that may contain a list of additional, unrequired HostID(s) that can be specified to activate the license.
- Activate your license by clicking the Activate button.
After activating the license, a page opens that displays the message: "License activated successfully", as shown below.
The page that opens lists information about the license, including License Status, Activation Time, Expiration Date, Maintenance End Date, and HostIDs. - Download the activated license by clicking the Download button.
