You should install the Product Activation Credential via iManager. The following procedures explain how to install the Product Activation Credential.

  2. Do one of these steps:

    • Save the Product Activation Credential file.

      or

    • Open the Product Activation Credential file, then copy the contents of the Product Activation Credential to your clipboard.

      IMPORTANT:Do not edit the contents of the Product Activation Credential.

  3. Open iManager.

  4. Choose Identity Manager Utilities > Install Activation.

  5. Select the driver set or browse to a driver set, then click Next.

    IMPORTANT:Make sure you choose a driver set that is in the same tree that the Product Activation Request was created from initially.

  6. If the driver set is not associated with a server or is associated with multiple servers, select a server to associate with a driver set, then click Next.

    The installation dialog box appears.

  7. Do one of these steps:

    • Specify where you saved the Identity Manager Activation Credential, then click Next.

      or

    • Paste the contents of the Identity Manager Activation Credential into the text area, then click Next.

  8. Click Finish.

NOTE:You need to activate each driver set that has a driver. You can use the same Product Activation Credential to activate other driver sets as long as the driver sets are in the same tree. A Product Activation Credential can only be used in the tree from which the Product Activation Request was created.

If you use the generic credential, you can activate any tree.
