Test LicenseControl's Basic Capabilities
After you get the demo application, the following steps will help you understand the basic capabilities of both LicenseControl and the Vendor Services web site:
- Log into the demo Vendor's account (username is "demo" and password is "demo")
- Find your "purchase" on the Posted Licenses report
- from the "receipt" email you received, copy/paste your License ID and Activate your license
- Refresh the Posted Licenses report and click on the "1" link in the LIC column for your "purchase"
- Click on the Licensing Requests link to see the license activation transaction
- copy the application and rename (i.e., you just upgraded to a newer version)
- Re-Activate the license (no License ID required ... that system's currently licensed!)
- Refresh the Licensing Requests report to see the license re-activation transaction
- De-Activate the license then reinstall the software to simulate moving it to another system
- Re-Activate the license ... not allowed because that system's not currently licensed!
- Refresh the Licensing Requests report to see the license de-activation and attempted re-activation transactions
- Activate the new copy
- Refresh the Licensing Requests report to see the new license activation transaction
You get the idea — simple but very capable!
