How-to: Pre-activate a License

On This Page

Custom Pre-Activated License

To address some unique environment conditions, you may want to provide your customer with a pre-activated license. This license can be copied to the application folder or other valid search folder. When validating the license, DeployLX will not prompt the user to activate since it already has all the hardware information required to verify the machine.

You will need to obtain the user's machine profile hash to pre-activate the license. If the user reported the problem with the complete DeployLX error report, then you already have the hash labeled Machine Code. Otherwise, you can use the Profile Helper application to generate the hash on the end user's machine.
