Manually activating licenses is feasible for issuing fewer numbers of licenses, but is difficult to manage for larger numbers of license activations.

To manually activate a license, you need to work individually with your end users as follows:

1. You ask the end user to run the LM-X End-user utility or End-user Configuration tool to obtain their HostID(s).
2. The end user sends you their HostID(s).
3. Using xmllicgen, you enter the HostID tag(s) in the license template and generate a license file, which you send to the customer.
