Submitting the activation key

Before you enter the permanent activation key, you must first check whether the SLM configuration contains your license number and customer code. If this information was unavailable when you requested the activation key, the information is sent to you together with the permanent key by Infor Validation. Add this data to your configuration before you activate the key..

Right-click License Data (F0 ) and, on the shortcut menu, select All Tasks > Save License Data to License server… to save the data to the SLM server.

Note: The License file must be complete. You can receive additional data from Infor Validation with the key. For example a license number or the customer code. Specify and save this data first in the license file before you can submit the key.

To activate the activation key for your configuration:

  1. Right-click License Data (F0 ) on the Navigation Area
  2. On the shortcut menu, click All Tasks > Supply New Activation Key…
  3. Specify the new key. Use a copy and paste procedure to enter the Activation Key information in this dialog box.
  4. Click Activate to send the key to the Software License Manager.

    Your SLM configuration is active. All State columns in the Content Area have the status Active.

    Note: The Activation key uses some hardware characteristics, such as CPU, main-board, and network card, of the machine on which SLM server runs. If you change the hardware configuration, the activation key becomes invalid and you must re-validate your configuration.
    Note: If you provide your configuration with an incorrect activation key, the Solution License Manager responds with an SLM Activate message.
  5. Click Retry to supply the correct activation key.
  6. Before activation, SLM checks whether any changes are made to the license data. If so, a message appears to inform you about unsaved changes.
  7. Click Yes to save these changes. The existing activation key is only overwritten if the new activation key is a valid key.
