Obtaining an activation key

In Configuring the licenses is described how you can specify all the necessary data in the SLM server configuration to enable Infor Validation.

In case of a valid match, Infor Validation can provide you with the activation key. This activation key activates the specified configuration you sent to Infor.

This section describes the required steps to request an Activation key. First, you must be certain that your SLM server configuration is saved to the SLM server and to a file that you can upload to Infor.

To request for an Activation key:

1. Right-click License Data (F0 ) in the Navigation Area and on the shortcut menu, select All Tasks > Save License Data to License server. This command saves all license data to the SLM server.
2. Select All Tasks > Save License Data to File…

   This command opens a Save As dialog box, in which you must indicate in which folder and under what name the license data must be saved. The data is saved as an XML file. By default, this file is called license.xml.

   Upload this file to Infor Validation to retrieve an Activation key for that specific configuration.

3. Open your Internet browser and navigate to the Infor Customer Portal.
4. Click Request a Software license Key in the left bar. The Software Keys page appears.
5. Select Infor License Management (SLM) Key Request Form. The request form for licensing using the License Manager is displayed.
6. Specify the required details and attach your license file, license.xml, to the select license information file. To retrieve license.xml, click Browse and select the file in the Choose File dialog box.

7. Click Submit. All specified details and the license file are sent to Infor Validation and your request for an activation key is processed.

   Infor provides you the validated Activation Key or can send a temporary activation key that activates the applications for a limited period.
