Offline Activation Network key (versions 15-19)

This process needs a c2v created with the RUS_GWYWG utility.

This is valid for software or hardware keys

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 Network key offline

  1. On the PC with the network key, go to the C:\Program Files\EFI-Optitex\Optitex[version#]\App folder.

  2. Locate and open RUS_GWYWG.exe.

    The RUS window opens:

  3. In the Collect Status Information tab, select Update of existing protection key.

  4. Click the Collect Information button.

    The Save Key Status As dialog opens.

  5. Browse for a folder to save the key information file (*.c2v). Make sure you know where to find the saved file.

  6. Enter the file name. Any name will do, but it is recommended to include the key number.

  7. Click the Save button.

    The c2v file is saved.

  8. Go to this website: ws-aws.optitex.com/LicenseWebApp/Default.aspx/.

  9. Proceed with step 3 on the web page to select the previously generated *.c2v file.

  10. Proceed with step 4 on the web page and fill in the key number (found in the license manager).

  11. Enter your e-mail address in the e-mail field.

  12. Proceed with step 5 on the web page to upload the file.

  13. After a short while, you get an e-mail with the license file (*.v2c).

  14. Save the e-mailed license file (*.v2c) in a location you can easily find (e.g. your desktop).

  15. Go back to the License Manager to install the license file.

  16. Under License at the bottom, click Install License.

    The Install license dialog opens.

  17. Browse for and select the saved *. v2c file and click Open.

  18. The license is installed and the license manager now displays the licensed version, as well as the modules included.

Note: There are two other 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:
