1. Introduction

The license activation process has been simplified in the latest version of Lepide Data Security Platform. You will be provided with a License ID and a Password in an email as soon as the Sales Representative from Lepide registers you on the management portal. There are two methods of activating your licenses:

• Activating Online

• Activating Offline

2. Activating Online

Once you have the credentials, please follow the below steps:

• Go to the Licensing information page, click on Update License.

• Now select Activate Online and enter the Licensing ID and Password and hit Update License

• Once you click on Update License it will show up a pop-up saying, License information updated successfully. Click OK.

• Once you click OK, the solution will ask you to restart. Select Yes.

• Once you restart the software, you will see the column License Type is changed to the mode of license you have opted for. This shows your license is active now.

3. Activating Offline

This mode is helpful in activating the license when you don’t have an active internet connection on the machine where Lepide Data Security Platform is installed.

• Go to the Licensing information page, click on Update License.

• Now select Activate Offline and enter the Licensing ID and Password and hit Generate Request.

• You will get a pop-up saying License request file generated successfully at: Your Desktop. Just press OK.
