- Enter your email server name in the Server Name field.
- Select the method to use for authentication from the Authentication type drop-down list: Plain text; Login; or CRAM-MD5. (Check with your system administrator to determine the authentication type that should be used.)
- If needed, change the port for the server in the Port field.
- In the Username and Password fields, enter a License Statistics administrator username and password.
- In the From field, enter your email address.
- In the Send As field, enter the name you want to display as the sender in email notifications.
