Authorize Spotlight

Spotlight is supplied with a time-limited trial key so you may test the product. When the trial key expires Spotlight reverts to a preview mode, which limits access to Spotlight. You will be able to see the Spotlight home page and one connection at a time. If you select to open a drilldown in preview mode the following message is displayed:

The current license does not allow access to this functionality.

Contact your Quest representative to obtain the necessary authorization keys to ensure Spotlight remains fully functional when the trial key expires.

To enter a new authorization key:

While Spotlight is running

  1. Click Help | About Spotlight.
  2. Ensure Installed Products is to the front.
  3. Locate Spotlight in the list of installed products.
  4. Select View / change product license.
  5. Click Change this license.
  6. Enter the Authorization key.

Notes:

  • The Windows user that updates the authorization key must have administrator access to the Windows registry and write access to the Console\Licenses sub-folder of the Spotlight installation folder.
  • Make sure you enter the authorization key exactly as stated on your Product Authorization sheet or as provided by your Quest distributor. The site message is case sensitive. If you enter the authorization key incorrectly, the following message is displayed: Invalid authorization key
  • If Spotlight is in preview mode and the trial period has not expired, check your computer system date is set correctly.
