Activating a Switch trial for additional modules (offline method)

You can activate a 30-day trial for one or more additional modules.

Note: Contact your local reseller if you want to try the Switch Core Engine.

Trial versions cannot be deactivated; they become inactive once the trial period has been expired.

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.

How it works:

Activating Switch modules 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 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 in detail below.

To activate a Switch trial for additional Switch modules

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.
2. On the Help menu, click Manage licenses. The Manage licenses dialog appears.
3. Select the module(s) for which you want to activate a trial.
4. Click Trial.
5. In the Enfocus Software Activation dialog, select the Off-Line Mode checkbox.
6. Enter your Enfocus ID and password. You should have created an Enfocus ID when activating the Switch Core Engine. If you don't remember your password, on your computer with internet access, go to https://my.enfocus.com/en/user/password.
7. Click Activate.
8. 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.
2. Go to http://www.enfocus.com/products/activation?lang=en
3. Upload requestactivate.xml, and click Continue.
4. Fill in your Enfocus ID password, and click Continue.
5. Click Continue to confirm. The Enfocus web server creates a file: response.xml.
6. 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 1h), in the right part, click Load and upload response.xml.
3. Click Activate. You have activated a Switch trial version. All information about the activated version (for example the validity period) is displayed in the right part of the Manage licenses dialog.
4. Click Close.

After updating the license keys, you must restart the application.
