Entering the license key
A license key is required to run the application. The key specifies the expiration date of a trial
license, as well as the number of ports allowed.
NOTE
You are not required to enter a license key for a trial license. If you do not enter the license key during
installation of the Enterprise edition, you can use the application, including all of its features, for a
trial period of 75 days. At the termination of the trial period, a License dialog displays, where you
enter a serial number and a license key.
Before you enter the license key you must install the application. For step-by-step instructions on
installation, refer to “Installing the Application” on page 13.
1. Select Help > License.
The License dialog box displays
2. Choose from one of the following options:
• Enter the serial number in the Serial # field (if you are upgrading from a trial license) and
the license key in the License Key field.
The License Key field is not case-sensitive.
• Browse to the license file.
3. Click Update to extract the new license information.
Review the new information in the License dialog box fields

The client automatically logs out. Open the application and log in using the instructions in
“Logging into a server” on page 65.
