Installing a Product Activation Credential

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

1. Open the Novell e-mail that contains the Product Activation Credential.

2. Do one of these steps:

   • Save the Product Activation Credential file.

     or

   • Open the Product Activation Credential file > 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 DirXML Management > Activation Installation.

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

   The installation dialog box appears:

7. Do one of these steps:

   • Specify where you saved the DirXML Activation Credential > click Next.

     or

   • Paste the contents of the DirXML Activation Credential into the text area > 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.
