If a network license is used (more then 1 license per PC / user / concurrent user), the number of PCs / users / concurrent users can be increased or decreased by sending an Activation Key to the customer.

 

 

This key adds the selected number of licenses to the existing value in the license file. If you have an existing license with 5 users and the additional license includes 2 users, this results in a license for 7 users after applying the key. Select: Overwrite value in license file if you want to overwrite the existing value.

Online Validation - Requires Activaton Server

 

If you choose the option Online validation required, the workflow for applying a key is as follows:
 

•The user needs an Internet connection to apply a key
•The key is transferred to the Activation server and is stored in the database
•If the key was already used, the key can not be applied
•If the key was already used on the same machine and reinstallation is allowed, then the key can be applied

Using this option you can create Activation Keys without knowing the license file ID or the installation code from the user and it is ensured that the key can only be used once.
