License Activation

Overview​

License activation is the process of registering a purchased license to make it usable in your actual development environment.

info

All licenses support offline environments. They work normally without an internet connection and do not require periodic online authentication.

Activation Steps​

  1. Initial Setup (Init) - Initialize when running the license program for the first time
  2. Generate Locking Code - Generate hardware-specific code using the Generate button
  3. Web Portal Activation - Activate license and download file using the generated code
  4. License Installation - Install the downloaded license file on your system
info

Initial setup (Init) is only required when using the license program for the first time. For subsequent license activations, start from step 2.
