Offline Activation Network License Manager (up to version 21.3)
Activate your key offline when Online Activation is not possible.
This topic describes the process when your network key is on a dedicated server and installed with the Network License Manager.
The process needs a c2v created with the RUS utility.
This is valid for software or hardware keys of any version.
Note: Activating a network key must be done on the actual machine where the key exists. It cannot be done from the license clients!
To activate your server Network key offline
-
From the Start menu, go to Optitex Network License Manager > Network License Utility ( or Offline Activation in older versions).
The RUS window opens: -
In the Collect Status Information tab, select Update of existing protection key.
-
Click the Collect Information button.
The Save Key Status As dialog opens. -
Browse for a folder to save the key information file (*.c2v). Make sure you know where to find the saved file.
-
Enter the file name. Any name will do, but it is recommended to include the key number.
-
Click the Save button.
The c2v file is saved. -
Go to this website: ws-aws.optitex.com/LicenseWebApp/Default.aspx/
-
Proceed with step 3 on the web page to select the previously generated *.c2v file.
-
Proceed with step 4 on the web page and fill in the key number (found in the license manager).
-
Enter your e-mail address in the e-mail field.
-
Proceed with step 5 on the web page to upload the file.
-
After a while you receive an e-mail with a v2c file.
-
Save the e-mailed license file (*.v2c) in a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop).
-
On the Start menu, go to Optitex Network License Manager > License Manager.
-
Under License at the bottom, click Install License.
The Install license dialog opens. -
Browse for and select the saved *. v2c file and click Open.
The license is installed and the License Manager now displays the licensed version, as well as the modules included.
Note: There are two ways to apply the v2c file other than through the license manager. Use them if needed:
The Network License Utility (or Offline Activation in older versions)> Apply License File (tab).
The ACC > Update/Attach (under Options, on the left-hand side)
When there is no access to the Offline Activation web page, or if this process is unsuccessful:
-
Contact Optitex Support (optitex.support@optitex.com).
-
Include the license details and the c2v file.
