Portability Suite Product

Licensing

This section provides information about licensing and activating your PlateSpin®Portability Suite

product (PlateSpin®Migrate or PlateSpin®Protect), as well as managing your license keys.

Section 1.1, “Activating Your Product License,” on page 9

Section 1.2, “About Per-Migration and Per-Workload Licensing,” on page 11

Section 1.3, “Using the License Manager,” on page 11

Section 1.4, “License Splitting,” on page 13

1.1 Activating Your Product License

For product licensing, you must have a license activation code. If you do not have a license

activation code, request one through the Novell®Customer Center Web site (http://

www.novell.com/customercenter/). A license activation code will be e-mailed to you.

When you launch the Portability Suite Client for the first time after installation, the License

Activation Wizard opens and prompts you to activate your product license.

You have two options for activating your product license: online or offline.

Section 1.1.1, “Online Activation,” on page 9

Section 1.1.2, “Offline Activation,” on page 10

1.1.1 Online Activation

Online activation requires that your Portability Suite Client have Internet access.

novdocx (en) 13 May 2009

NOTE: HTTP proxies might cause failures during online activation. If you are using an HTTP

proxy server and are having problems with online activation, try the offline activation method.

1In the License Wizard, select the Online Activation option and click Next.

2Enter the e-mail address that you provided when placing your order, and the activation code

you received.

The Portability Suite Client obtains the required license over the Internet and activates the

For offline activation, you obtain a license key over the Internet by using a machine that has Internet

access.

1In the License Wizard, select the Offline Activation option and click Next.

The Activate License dialog box is displayed:

2Save your hardware ID for use in the next steps.

3Use a computer with Internet access to obtain a license key by using the Web-based license

activation utility (http://www.platespin.com/productactivation/ActivateOrder.aspx).

NOTE: To obtain a license key, you must have a Novell®account. If you are an existing

PlateSpin®customer and you don’t have a Novell®account, you must first create one. Use

your existing PlateSpin®username (a valid e-mail address registered with PlateSpin) as input

for your Novell®account username.

4Save your new license key in a location accessible to your Portability Suite Client.

5In the License Wizard, type the full path to, or browse to and select, the Portability Suite license

file, then click Next.
