Process
To activate the license, enter the activation code as follow:
1. Open a command prompt/terminal in the directory where you have extracted the FlexNet server tools archive and go to the FlexNetLicenseServerTools subdirectory.
2. Your server is connected to the internet:
- Copy and paste the activation code lines and press Enter. Activation code lines look like:
ServerFNOODActivation -a A1A2-B2D6-0CD4-044B Avizo_2019.1 5
- If you have multiplea ctivation codes, you can request several 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> (words between <> characters must be updated according to your own data).
For example, if your activation code is ABCD-EFGH-IJKL-MNOP Avizo_2019.1, the number of licenses is 5, and you want to save the request in a request.xml file, enter:
ServerFNOODActivation -a ABCD-EFGH-IJKL-MNOP Avizo_2019.1 5 -offline request.xml.
If you have received 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 on Process. An activation.xml response file is downloaded.
- Transfer this activation.xml file to the FLexNet license server.
- Back in the command prompt/terminal, enter:
ServerFNOODActivation -response <ResponseXMLPath>/activation.xml (where <ResponseXMLPath> corresponds to the directory where you have transferred the activation.xml response file). - Your licenses are activated in a few seconds.
3. Open http://localhost:8090/vendor in a web browser.
