Activate or reactivate a specific license
About this task
If you have uploaded more than one license and want to activate a specific license, do the following.
If you recently renewed your license, you may have to validate your license manually to reactivate it. For more information, see How to validate a license after renewal.
Procedure
- Select the license you want to activate.
- Right-click and select Reactivate.
Results
- If the activated license is "incompatible" with the other stored licenses, the other licenses are deactivated. This may result in the number of users exceeding the limit allowed in the new license. In this case, the administrator must access the Users or the Licenses pages in unblocking mode to fix this issue.
- If the activated license is "compatible" with at least one of the stored license, all these compatible licenses are set to Active.
