Licence Keys
If you are upgrading to Fabric Manager 5.2.0 from a version earlier than 5.0.0, you need a new license
key. License keys for versions prior to 5.0.0 can no longer be used. Upgrading from Fabric Manager
5.0.0 or 5.1.0 does not require a new Fabric Manager license.
Fabric Manager has the following license types:
• 4 Domain Limit
• 10 Domain Limit
• Unlimited Upgrade (4 domain to unlimited)
• Unlimited Upgrade (10 domain to unlimited)
• Unlimited Upgrade (Fabric Manager 4.x unlimited to Fabric Manager 5.x unlimited)
• 10 Domain Limit Upgrade Version (4 to 10 domain)
• 4 Domain Limit Upgrade (Fabric Manager 4.x with 4 domains to Fabric Manager 5.x with 4
domains)
• 10 Domain Limit Upgrade (Fabric Manager 4.x with 10 domains to Fabric Manager 5.x with 10
domains)
Upgrading from the Evaluation Version
During installation, you can choose to install either the full version of Fabric Manager or an evaluation
version. The evaluation version can be used for up to 60 days. You do not need to provide a serial
number or license key to use the evaluation version; however, you must accept the license agreement
displayed during the installation.
Each time you launch the evaluation version of Fabric Manager, a warning message notifies you when
the evaluation version will expire and gives you the option to register Fabric Manager or to continue
with the evaluation version. To register Fabric Manager, click Enter Now in the warning message and
enter a valid serial number and license key.
You can also register Fabric Manager at any time from within Fabric Manager.
To register Fabric Manager
1. Select Help > Register.
2. Type a valid serial number and license key in the Fabric Manager Registration window.
3. Click Enter.
Note
Licensing for Fabric Manager is per server, not one copy per site.
