The conventional way to activate Metalogix Diagnostic Manager is over the Internet. If the machine on which Metalogix Diagnostic Manager is installed does not have Internet access or you want to use a secure connection, you can either specify a proxy server to use to connect to the internet, or request a license file to activate the license offline.
|
NOTE: If you do not activate your license immediately after installing the Collection Service, it will display when you attempt to invoke Metalogix Diagnostic Manager. You cannot begin to use the application until your license is activated. |
