Starting the License Wizard

License Wizard is the application used to activate a product, manage activated licenses, install a license server or connect to a license server.

Windows

If you are launching License Wizard for the first time, you will be prompted to give it elevated privileges. This is because License Wizard needs to install the activation service for your product. To do this, you should be logged-in to an account with administrator privileges. You can also do this from a regular user account, provided that you can enter the username and password of an account with administrator privileges when prompted.

  1. Open the Start menu.
  2. Select All Programs > [Product Name & Version] > License Tools > License Wizard
  1. Open the Start menu.
  2. Select Apps > [Product Name & Version] > License Wizard
  1. Open the Start menu.
  2. Select [Product Name & Version] > License Wizard.

    One of the following will happen:

  2. Open a Finder window.
