Premium or Custom 3rd Party Licenses

When the AppWave Studio user masters a premium application, an application for which Embarcadero provides a mastering template, and then adds the application to AppWave , licenses for the mastered application can be managed by AppWave . AppWave can ensure license compliance by limiting the number of concurrent users to the maximum number of licenses available. Licensing 3rd party applications is accomplished through the License Automation pages of AppWave .

  1. From the MANAGE LICENSES menu, choose License Automation.
  2. The Auto Activation Licenses page is populated with mastered 3rd party applications that support license management.
  3. Locate the application to manage and in the Usage column, click the edit icon Editicon.gif.
  4. Licensing information for the application appears.
  5. To add new licenses, in the Usage column, click Add Activation Value.
  6. Depending on the application, the fields on the Add Activation Group Value page may differ.
  7. To add one license, in the Total Count field, enter 1 and in the Serial ID field, enter a valid license number.
  8. To add more than one license, click Bulk Import, point to the .zip file containing the licensing slip files, and then click Import.
  9. Click Save.
