Activating the Licenses

Imaging Engine 18 is protected with licenses. These licenses are distributed as a product key file (in .html).

You need to activate the product keys in the product key file using the Network License Manager application, on the server that you are using as a license server (this can be either your Automation Engine server or a central license server).

You should have installed the Network License Manager as part of your Automation Engine installation. See the Automation Engine installation guide if needed.

You need:

A product key file for Imaging Engine 18. If you do not have a product key file yet, contact Esko Customer Support.
Internet access on the server that you are using as a license server.
An Esko ID in order to activate the licenses. Get one at http://www.esko.com/licensing/CreateAccount.

On the server that you are using as a license server:

Open the Network License Manager.
Depending on your OS, you can do this by:
- going to Start > All Programs > Esko > Network License Manager > Network License Manager,
- clicking Network License Manager on your Apps screen.
In the Esko Network License Manager, do one of the following:
- drag your product key file in the area marked Drag your Product Key File or your Response file here,
- click the Activate button.
Follow the instructions of the Activate License Wizard.
When asked about the product keys, choose I have received an HTML file containing my Product Keys.
Click Browse to select the product key file.
When asked, fill in your Esko ID and Password.
Click Finish.
The licensed products you can use are now visible in the Network License Manager.
