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 Professional Plus or Enterprise editions, 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 must enter a license key.
NOTE
You are not required to enter a license key for SMI Agent only installation. If you choose to the SMI
Agent only option, when you open the Management application client, a License dialog displays,
where you must enter a license key.
Before you enter the license key you must install the application. For step-by-step instructions, refer
to “Installing the Application” in the DCFM Installation Guide.
