After successfully installing the Meridian Enterprise application server components, you must register licenses before creating or opening any vaults. The default method to register licenses is in the Meridian Enterprise Server Administration console as described in the Accruent Meridian Enterprise Server Administrator's Guide.
If necessary, licenses may be registered in the Accruent Meridian Enterprise Administrator program run on the Meridian application server. The License Server branch in Meridian Enterprise Administrator is hidden by default. To reveal it, set the NodesMask registry value as described in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cyco\AutoManager Meridian\CurrentVersion\AMAdmin.
Download your license keys from the Accruent Self Service Center as described in Obtain Licenses and Authorization Keys.
-
All licenses must be entered at the same time.
-
When you purchase additional licenses for Meridian for which you have already authorized licenses, the existing license quantity is combined with the new licenses when you register and authorize the new licenses.
To register licenses in Meridian Enterprise Administrator:
-
On the Meridian application server, open Accruent Meridian Enterprise Administrator from the Windows Start menu.
-
Click License Server in the left pane.
Property page tabs appear in the right pane.

When you have typed all of the transaction keys for the licenses, click Next.
-
Click Finish to complete the wizard.

The licenses are now registered but not yet authorized. You or your Accruent Partner can expect to retrieve the authorization keys within three business days.
Each time a vault is opened by a Meridian Enterprise client until the licenses are authorized, a reminder dialog that the licenses have not been authorized will appear. The system may be used with full functionality for up to 30 days to allow time for you to obtain the authorization keys from Accruent and register them as described in Enter Authorization Keys.
