Disconnected Topology

One computer must have Internet access to the License Activation Web Page and Activation Server in order to complete the activation. However, your environment might not support this and you will have to work around the disconnect.

A disconnected topology can have the following characteristics:

• The License Manager node has network access to the License Server.

• A firewall or any constraints exist between the License Manager components and the Activation Server.

In this scenario, you must set up a separate node with Internet access to the License Activation Web Page and Activation Server and then complete the activation process in "offline" mode. For more information, see Activate licenses in offline mode.
