Process
To activate the license, enter the activation code as follows:
1. Open a command prompt/terminal in the directory where you extracted the FlexNet server tools archive, then go to the FlexNetLicenseServerTools subdirectory.
2. Your server is connected to the internet:
- Copy and paste the activation code lines, then press Enter. Activation code lines look like:
ServerFNOODActivation -a A1A2-B2D6-0CD4-044B Avizo_2019.1 5
- If you have several activation codes, you can request multiple activations at the same time:
ServerFNOODActivation -a <ActivationCode1> -a <ActivationCode2> -a <ActivationCode3>
Your server is not connected to the internet:
- Generate the request XML file:
- Run ServerFNOODActivation -a <ActivationCode> <Quantity> -offline <File.xml>
Replace the values inside the angle brackets (<>) with your own data.
For example, if your activation code is ABCD-EFGH-IJKL-MNOP Avizo_2019.1, you need 5 licenses, and you want to save the request as request.xml, enter:
ServerFNOODActivation -a ABCD-EFGH-IJKL-MNOP Avizo_2019.1 5 -offline request.xml.
If you have multiple activation codes, you can request several activations in the same file:
ServerFNOODActivation -a <ActivationCode1> <Quantity1> -a <ActivationCode2> <Quantity2> -a <ActivationCode3> <Quantity3> -offline <File.xml>
- Generate and import the response XML file:
- Transfer your XML request file to a computer with an internet connection.
- Open https://vsg3d.flexnetoperations.com/control/vsgs/offlineActivation in a web browser.
- Specify the path to your XML request file in the provided file field.
- Click Process. An activation.xml response file is downloaded.
- Transfer this activation.xml file back to the FlexNet license server.
- Back in the command prompt/terminal, enter:
ServerFNOODActivation -response <ResponseXMLPath>/activation.xml
<ResponseXMLPath> corresponds to the directory where you transferred the activation.xml response file.
- Your licenses activate within a few seconds.
3. Open http://localhost:8090/vendor in a web browser.
4. Click the mcslmd line.
5. Click Reread License Files.
