How do I extend licenses to a new expiry date?

How do I install extensions or modification entitlements.


Overview

  • Once finance has confirmed payment, extension licenses are sent.
  • Apply the extensions to the installed licenses for the new expiry date to take effect.
  • The License Administrator is the easiest way to apply a new expiry date to licenses.

To install the new expiry date

  1. Launch the License Administrator on the machine.
    • If this is a central license server then you only need to do this on the server machine itself.
    • If licensed machines individually, repeat this process for each machine.
  2. Login to your licensing account.
  3. Press the Account button in the upper right hand corner and go to Install License Entitlements
  4. Select the Quantity of the licenses you wish to extend or modify.
  5. Press the Install button.

NOTE:

This process will generate the keystrings and install your new expiry dates. The keystrings will be written to the licenses file on the machine automatically.
