Set the activation mode

The activation mode you select depends on the network topology where the license components are deployed. For more information, see About activation and activation modes.

Online activation is selected by default. Icons in the Action bar reflect the activation mode currently in use.

You can't change the activation mode if offline activation has been previously selected and activation or deactivation is pending. Once the offline activation or deactivation is complete you can then change the mode.

Set online or offline activation mode

1. Open License Manager and select the Menu icon.

   

   The Menu appears from the left side. Select Activation Settings. The Activation Settings dialog appears.

   

2. Select either Online Activation or Offline Activation.

3. For online activation, select Process Activation/Deactivation requests from other License Managers only if the node where the License Manager components are installed has Internet access to the Activation Server and you want to use it to process activation requests for OTHER License Managers with no Internet access to the Activation Server.

If you select Offline Activation or Process Activation/Deactivation requests from other License Managers, the Offline Activation button appears in the Action bar. This button might appear yellow, indicating that offline activation or deactivation actions are pending.
