Enter Authorization Keys

After you have registered your licenses as described in Register Licenses - Administrator and retrieved authorization keys in return, you must enter the keys to authorize the licenses.

The default method to enter authorization keys is in the Meridian Enterprise Server Administration Console as described in Register Licenses. If necessary, keys may be entered in the Meridian Enterprise Administrator program run on the Meridian application server.

The License Server branch in the 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.

To enter authorization keys:

1. Open Meridian Enterprise Administrator from the Windows Start menu.

2. Click License Server in the left pane.

   Property page tabs appear in the right pane.

3. Click the Licenses tab.

   The list of registered licenses appears.

4. Select a license from the list that corresponds to an authorization key that you have received.

   The license's transaction keys appear at the top of the page.

5. Copy and paste or type the corresponding authorization key in Authorization key from the file that you downloaded from the Accruent Self Service Center.

6. Click Add.

   The authorization key appears in the license list indicating that the license has been authorized.

7. Repeat steps 4–6 for each license.

   When all licenses have been authorized, the license reminder dialog will stop appearing when the vault is opened by a Meridian Enterprise client.
