In this article we explain the process for installing a network license using the online activation method.

Before You Start

• This process assumes the host operating system is Windows Server 2019.
• Installing an online activation license requires the following:
  • An internet connection that allows outbound traffic on port 80.
  • The serial number (or activation ID) for your license.

How to Install the License

1. On the 'Windows Taskbar', click on the 'Start' button (shortcut:  Windows logo key or Ctrl + Esc).
2. Open the 'GEO-SLOPE' folder.
3. Click on 'LicenseInstaller'.
   
4. Select 'Add Licenses' from the pane on the left.
5. Click on the button to 'Install Licenses...'.
   
6. Enter your serial numbers when prompted and click on the 'Next >' button.
   
7. Once the activation process finishes, your network licenses are available for use.

Things to Consider

• There is no license file associated with an online activation license.  The data is stored via encryption directly on your hard drive.
• Uninstalling lmadmin does not uninstall any licenses.
  • If you uninstall lmadmin and forget to return your license, the activation still resides on the computer.
  • If you have uninstalled lmadmin and the activation is still on the computer, you can simply re-install lmadmin to access and return the license.
• Major changes to the computer's hardware, or re-hosting a virtual machine, can invalidate the activation.  First, return your licenses before making such changes.  Refer to the following link for more information:
