The activation action is invoking the Automatic Licence Generator . This is the universal batch processing tool to generate a license file or key. It can be obtained as a separate module to produce key lists or for integration in Online Shops. In the combination with the Activation Server it can only be used with the server and not as a standalone tool. The standalone tool requires a license for the Automatic Licence Generator .
The Automatic Licence Generator processes the configuration.xml file defined for the project (ProjectID) and looks for the definitions defined for the Serial Number /DID. Then the project template file is processed.
In combination with the Activation Server the Automatic Licence Generator only produces Activation Keys. These keys can be retrieved within the Manage Activations Tab, Modify an Activation Request.
