Licenses are managed in the License Manager. This is a bundled tool and you use it to install, add, remove, validate, and request licenses from Synactive. The only time you will not use License Manager to acquire a license is when you initially receive the poroducts - the licenses will be sent separately. However, you will use the License Manager tool to install the new licenses once you receive them. In this section of the document, the following topics will be covered.
- Adding and Importing Licenses
- Removing Licenses
- Validating Licenses
