Activating the License

There are two ways to activate a license:

• Automatic: Requires Internet access and firewall access and optionally can utilize a Proxy Server for the automatic license activation service. For required ports, see Windows Security Settings Disclosure.
• Manual: Use this method if the DataCore Server is not connected to the Internet or a firewall blocks traffic to the automatic license activation service. (The Proxy Server method is preferred over the Manual method when there is no Internet connection or a firewall block.)

Before Activating a License

• Ensure all servers are added to the server group before activating any license keys.
• Contact DataCore Technical Support for assistance when replacing, removing, or modifying existing product keys.
