Activate licenses in online mode

Online activation provides a workflow to activate your licenses when a system has access to the Internet and it can reach the AVEVA Activation Server. Online Activation is the default mode. The License is locked to the License Server node when the activation process takes place. During this Activation process, the local License Server is typically connected to the Internet, however, after Activation is complete, connection of License Server to the Activation Server in the Cloud is no longer necessary.

For online activation to work, make sure that:

• You have access to the entitlement file provided.

• The License Manager components node has connectivity to both the License Server and to the Activation Server over the Internet.
