SLM Activation key
Infor verifies the SLM configuration against the signed contract, your SLA, to see if the SLM configuration is a correct representation of the agreement. If so, Infor provides one SLM activation key for each license file.
Temporary activation key
Providing you with a valid activation key can take some time. Infor ’s policy is to provide you with the key within two working days.
To bypass this two-day maximum, Infor can provide you with a temporary activation key. That key provides access to your applications for a limited period of two weeks. The moment you receive the actual activation key, you must activate that key in your SLM server configuration. This is to avoid a situation in which you can no longer use your applications after the temporary license expires.
The temporary activation key is only applicable for those applications in your SLM configuration that were never licensed with a validated activation key. It usually works only on the changes in your SLM configuration.
