Retrieve Licenses for Embarcadero Products

Follow this procedure in these situations :

• When you purchase a license or you have a pre-existing license that you want to start managing with AppWave .
• To renew or upgrade your Embarcadero licenses, such as for ER/Studio Data Architect or DB Power Studio (An individual product or suit using concurrent or named licenses types).

This procedure is valid for all the EMBT Products, including Individual, Suite and All-Access licenses. The same procedure is applied to Named and concurrent licenses.

In both cases Embarcadero sends you an email containing license certificate information. If you have a pre-existing license that you want to start managing with AppWave , you can also register it with the AppWave server using this procedure. You will need your license certificate number.

The following are the steps you take to upgrade your Embarcadero licenses on AppWave .

1. From the Dashboard, click Set up Licenses.
2. On the Set Up Licenses pane, click Retrieve License.

   Note: If you are using, or plan to use, a port other than 5567 as the Embarcadero License Center Communication Port, go to the Alternative Setup portion of the Retrieve License pane.

3. Enter the Login name and Password provided to you in the email Embarcadero sent to you with your license certificate number when you purchased the license.
4. Enter the license certificate number you received from Embarcadero in the email sent to you when you purchased the license. You may have more than one license certificate if you have previously purchased licensed products from Embarcadero. You can add these license certificates one at a time. Multiple certificates can be specified, separated by a comma.
5. Verify that the AppWave Host address name or IP number is correct. Enter the correct value if necessary.
6. Click Retrieve and the Retrieve Licenses pane appears.
7. Click Host Selected Licenses.
8. The licenses will be registered with AppWave and Embarcadero License Center. The License Retrieved pane appears and AppWave is now licensed.
