License keys control which product functions you are able to use. Before you can configure any Precisely product that License Manager manages, you must enter a unique license key on each of the systems on which the product is installed.
License keys can be obtained through the product’s Installation Wizard, the native user interface installation process, or the Update License Keys (UPDLICKEY) command. The preferred method to use is the Precisely AutoValidate through the product’s installation wizard, which allows you to easily and automatically obtain and apply license keys.
All methods of obtaining license keys involve two basic processes. First, required system information is gathered and packaged into a License Request Package (LRP) and sent to the Precisely Portal (website). Second, the Precisely portal generates a License Key Package (LKP), which is applied to your systems. When using Precisely AutoValidate through the product’s Installation Wizard, these steps are automatically done for you.
