Setting up a proxy server for license activation
You can set up a proxy server on another PC on your network to act as an interface between your
Wave Server and the Vertical License Activation Web page. The proxy server PC must have
Internet access and allow the use of the HTTPS protocol, and you must have a valid DNS server
on your network.
• A proxy server is useful if the Wave Server does not have Internet access or does not
allow the use of the HTTPS protocol, and you want to be able to use one-click license
activation (instead of offline activation).
• You MUST use a proxy server for license activation if a Wave license file consists of a
single license key for unlimited site usage.
