License management
3. License Keys: A license key is a long alpha-numeric code that our Technical Support
team sends to you in response to a license request. The license key is used to add and
engage licenses on the Xmedia Server.
4. Paste Softkey: Since the license keys are long alpha-numeric codes, it is
recommended that you copy (CTRL+C) the license key(s) from the email onto your
clipboard. Then you can press the P
ASTE S OFTKEY button to paste the license keys,
(error free) into the L ICENSE K EYS text box.
5. Validate: Once the license keys are pasted into the L ICENSE K EYS text box, it is highly
recommended that you press the V ALIDATE button before applying the licenses. The
V ALIDATE button checks the validity of the license key, but does not apply the license.
This check step helps to avoid unnecessary licensing errors.
6. Open File/Browse: Opens a window that allows you to browse your computer for the
a license file containing a list of license soft keys. Selecting and opening the file using
this window automatically populates the L
ICENSE K EYS text box with all of the soft keys
contained in the file.
7. License Key Details: When the license keys are validated, you can preview the
resulting licenses in the License Keys Details table.
