You can create activation keys for the main license to control more precisely which users are allowed to borrow licenses. The number of sublicenses for which you can generate activation keys depends on the existing main license. You pass on the created activation keys to the desired recipients.
1. Open the License Management window (Managing licenses with the PTV License Manager) or (Opening the license management in the product).
2. Click the Manage button.
The Enter password window opens.
3. Enter the password (Preparing the borrowing of licenses).
4. Confirm with OK.
The Manage license window opens.
5. Click the New button.
6. A new activation key is created with the basic settings.
7. Make the desired changes:
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
|
Key column |
Displays the key string of the activation keys created. The activation key is generated automatically and cannot be changed. |
|
Number of activations column |
For each activation key, specify how often it can be activated. The number entered here is independent of the number of available licenses. Example: If an activation key allows five activations and has already been used five times, it cannot be used again, even if the activation key was used to borrow a license and the license has been returned. |
|
Borrowing period until column |
For each activation key, specify the end date for the borrowing period. By default, the end date of the main license is specified. |
8. Confirm with OK.
The activation key is created.
9. In the Manage license window, select the activation key.
10. Click the Copy to clipboard button.
11. Paste the copied activation key into an e-mail and send it to the desired recipient.
