Activating Switch (online method)

Once you have installed Switch, you must activate the modules for which you have a license.

Note:

You need at least a license for the Switch Core Engine. Other modules are optional.
If you’re using a firewall, make sure to allow Switch to communicate with https://licensingservices.esko.com using ports 80 and 443.

This procedure describes how to activate Switch on a computer with internet access.
