• Offline activation. Use this method if the Wave Server does not have Internet access or
does not allow the use of the HTTPS protocol. With offline activation, you generate an
Offline Activation Request and submit it to the Vertical Activation Web site from another
PC. An Activation File is returned to you that you then manually activate on the Wave
Server.
Offline activation steps start on page 24-15.
Activation results
If activation is successful, activated licenses are returned and automatically added to your
system. You are returned to the screen that displays all of your licenses. Note that the Status
column will not update until you exit and restart the Software Licenses applet.
If activation is not successful, the reason is displayed. The most common status resulting from
an unsuccessful one-click activation, “Activation Pending”, indicates a bad Internet connection,
or that the Vertical Activation Server is down; the system will retry activation automatically. If
you continue to experience problems, try offline activation, or contact your Vertical
representative.
Activating your Wave licenses using one-click activation
1 In the Software Licenses applet, click one license to activate it or Ctrl-click to select
multiple licenses.
Note: Only those licenses that are in the statuses of Not Activated, Activation Pending,
and Activation Failed can be selected for Activation.
