Registering licenses

After successfully installing the ProjectForce application server components, you must register licenses before creating or opening any libraries. A license certificate listing codes for the licenses that you have purchased is specified to you when you purchase ProjectForce licenses and when receiving ProjectForce updates via subscription.

Licenses are registered in the BlueCielo ProjectForce Administrator program run on the ProjectForce application server. Once registered, the licenses must be authorized by sending your registration information to BlueCielo ECM Solutions. You will receive authorization keys in return, which you must then type to complete the registration process.

Note    When you purchase additional licenses for ProjectForce for which you have already authorized licenses, the existing license quantity is combined with the new licenses when you register and authorize the new licenses.

To register licenses:

1. On the ProjectForce application server, open the following file from Windows Explorer:

C:\Program Files\IC-ProjectForce\AMLicServer\Imandra Administrator V2.msc

2. Click License Server in the left pane. Property page tabs appear in the right pane.
3. Click the Licenses tab. If the Registration Wizard does not appear automatically, click the Start Wizard button. The Registration Wizard appears.
4. Type the requested information on each page and click Next until the Transaction Keys page appears.
5. Type the Transaction Key elements listed on your license certificate and click the Add button to register each license.
6. To remove an expired license, select the license and click Delete.
7. Accept the default value for Site ID or type a unique identifier for your site within your organization when prompted.
8. When you have typed all of the transaction keys for the licenses, click Next.
9. Click Finish to complete the wizard.
10. Click the Registration tab in the right pane. The Registration page appears listing all of the information that you have typed.
11. Confirm that the information is correct or click Edit to reopen the Registration Wizard and correct the information.
12. Click the Save as File button. Save the file to a secure location accessible from a computer where you can send an email message.
13. Open the file from a computer where you can send an email message, scroll to the bottom of the file, and click the hyperlink corresponding to your geographic region. A new email message should appear addressed to BlueCielo ECM Solutions.
14. Attach the file that you saved to the email message. Entering additional information is optional.
15. Send the message. The licenses are now registered but not yet authorized. You will receive authorization keys by the method that you selected in the Registration Wizard. You or your reseller can expect to receive authorization keys within three business days.

Until the licenses are authorized, a reminder dialog that the licenses have not been authorized will appear each time a vault is opened by a ProjectForce client. The system may be used with full functionality for up to 30 days to allow time for you to obtain the authorization keys from BlueCielo ECM Solutions and type them as described in Entering authorization keys.
