Activating Switch (offline method)

This procedure describes how to activate Switch on a computer without internet access.

Prerequisites:

You must have an additional computer with internet access to communicate with the Enfocus web server.
You need an Enfocus activation account.
To create an activation account (on a computer with internet access), go to http://www.enfocus.com/products/activation/createaccount?lang=en and follow the on-screen instructions. After completing the form, you will receive an e-mail with an account name and password.

How it works:

Activating Switch offline consists of three steps:

Create an activation request on the computer on which you installed Switch.
Save this file on another computer with internet access and upload it to the Enfocus activation website. Enfocus will check your licenses and, if the license is valid, provide you with a response file.
Upload the response file to the computer on which you installed Switch and activate it.

Each of these steps is explained below.

To activate Switch

On the computer on which you installed Switch:
1. Start Switch and connect to the local Switch Server. Activation is only possible on a local Switch Server. The Enfocus Software Activation dialog appears.
2. Enter your account name and password.
3. Enter your product key by doing one of the following:
  - Type or copy-paste your product key in the Product key field.
  - Browse to your product key license file or drag and drop it into the Product key field.
4. Select the Off-Line Mode checkbox.
5. Click Activate.
6. In the Off-Line Activation dialog, click Save and save the activation request file requestactivate.xml on your local computer.
On a computer with internet access:
1. Make requestactivate.xml available.
  Tip: You can copy requestactivate.xml to a USB stick, and connect the USB stick to your online system.

3. Select Offline Product Activation, and click Continue.
4. Upload requestactivate.xml, and click Continue.

6. Click Continue to confirm. The Enfocus web server creates a file: response.xml.
7. Download the file.
On the computer on which you installed Switch:
1. Make response.xml available on this computer.
2. In the Off-Line Activation dialog (see step 1f), in the right part, click Load and upload response.xml.
