Licensing > How to Configure Licenses

Before starting your server, make sure the HardKey (USB Dongle) that is sold together with the software is connected to your machine correctly.

To start licensing the system, after logging in to the server, locate the item Licenses in the Server Settings Menu, as illustrated in the figure below:

Once this is done, information on the current status of server licensing will appear on the right side, as shown in the figure below:

Notes
•Each server has a unique machine-key and licenses are linked to each server's machine-key. •The server machine-key is provided via software-key (using unique identifiers of the hardware where the server is installed) or via hard-key (USB key provided with the purchase of the system). When using software-key, the machine-key may be changed when the system detects a hardware change on the server. If the software-key is being used and the machine-key changes, contact your reseller. •If the base license is removed, the pack licenses will not be loaded and will automatically disappear from the screen. Pack licenses are only loaded if the base license is installed.
