Use Off-Line Activation of Software Licenses

All licenses need to be activated before the trial period expires. If the Wave has internet access and can access this address, then use one-click activation.

Note: Until licenses are activated, there will be a notification on each GA login informing the expiration date.

1. Login to Wave. (see Login to Wave IP Global Administrator).
    
2. Choose Software Licenses.
   
    
3. Click on the license to be activated. If you need to activate multiple licenses, you can select them by holding down the CTRL key while clicking on additional licenses.
    
4. Click the Activate button to get started.
   
    
5. Choose "This system cannot access the Activation Server. Generate Offline  Activaation Request File." Press Next.
   
    
6. Fill in the activation information as fully as possible. Registration information is used in the case of any disputes.
   
    
7. Press OK.
    
8. A save dialog box will appear. Choose a file location to save the off-line activation file. Copy this file to a location that has internet access.
   Note: If you fail to see a file save dialog but see instead a screen of encrypted
   characters, you must reconfigure the Wave Server to save rather than open LIC files.

    download your permanent license file."
    If activation was unsuccessful, the error or errors are displayed on-screen.
