Concept
Assign and Activate Licenses
When you have added the Entitlement to Device Administrator, you must assign and then activate the licenses on the SmartX servers.
Assign Licenses
Assigning licenses is the process of distribute the licenses from the Entitlement to the SmartX servers in the list.
Activate Licenses
When you have assigned the licenses to the SmartX servers, you must activate the licenses. Activation is required for enabling features that require licenses. Activation is done on the SmartX server level. You can activate licenses for all Smart servers in the list at the same time. Or you can choose to select a subset of servers and activate license for them.
Online activation is implemented immediately. Online activation requires that the SmartX server is connect to the internet.
For more information, see Activating Licenses Online .
Offline activation is used when the SmartX server does not have any access to the internet. Offline activation is a multi-step process.
The offline activation is based on a process where you, after the assigning is completed, create a set of request files using Device Administrator. The request files are then uploaded to the FlexNet Operations Administrator server. Th FlexNet Operations administrator server process the request files and create a set of response files. The response files are downloaded and copied to the computer that runs Device Administrator. From the Device Administrator the response files are sent to the SmartX server. When this is done the licenses are activated.

Activated licenses cannot be deactivated.
