Each product you add to LAC must have a license generator specified for it before you can generate licenses for the product.
You add and manage license generators using the License Generators tab from the Administration page. After adding a license generator, you can select it when creating or editing the product.
The settings for license generators include the following. All fields are required unless noted.
