Getting Started

First, you should read the Activation Overview section of this manual, if you have not already. Next, you should read the three setup chapters:

When you have performed these steps, you are ready to issue licenses for your product with RLM Activation Pro.

To use the RLM Activation Pro administration tool (RLC), point your browser to the URL where your system administrator set up the RLM Activation Pro software. The web server will prompt you for your username and password. Once you provide these, you will see the initial RLC screen. Login to RLC using the username and password you received from your system administrator (the login area is in the top right-hand side of the screen).


Activation Pro Setup

If you use Reprise’s Hosted Activation service, in order to set up Activation Pro you will populate your database (as described in Your Activation Database), then add activation request calls to your application (described in Enabling Your Application for Activation).

If you host the activation server on your own system, please refer to Activation Pro Setup (local server) for details on how to set up your system.

Setting Up Activation Pro

To set up RLM Activation Pro using the Reprise hostedactivation,com site, there are 3 steps: 1. Install your License Generator Settings file from your RLM kit (see below). 2. Setup the Activation Database. 3. Add activation request calls to your application, or build a stand-alone activation utility (described in Enabling Your Application for Activation).


Install your License Generator Settings File

You can create the license generator settings file (isvname.gen) on any supported RLM platform. To create it, execute the following command in the configured RLM kit area:

rlmsign -generator

Install the resulting file (isvname.gen) to your ActPro system using the AdminGenerator Settings tab. Browse to the file, then click Upload File.
