Activate with two License Managers

Activate licenses in offline mode using two License Managers

The procedure for activating licenses in offline mode using two License Managers is similar to activating licenses in offline mode using the License Activation Web Page. For this activation method, you need two License Managers:

• A License Manager with network connectivity to the License Server but no Internet connectivity to the Activation Server (License Manager #1 in the following procedure)

• A License Manager with Internet connectivity to the Activation Server (License Manager #2 in the following procedure)

Before you begin, configure the following settings for your two License Managers using the Activation Settings menu option:

• In the offline License Manager, select Offline Activation.

  

• In the online License Manager, leave the Online Activation option selected and also check the Process Activation/Deactivation requests from other License Managers option. The Offline Activation button appears in the Action Bar.
