Viewing Licenses

The View Licenses tab displays information about licenses on this computer. You can display license information for all products or a particular product.

The following page shows licenses for all products.

Header

The header is above the Licensed Products and License Information area on the View Licenses page.

The following data appears in the header:

  • Customer Service Number – Up to 20 characters representing the customer identification.
  • Device ID – For pre-configured hardware keys, an integer representing the license number (or one of the license numbers, if more than one product is licensed).
  • Creation Date – The date the license was created on this computer.
  • Expiration Date – The overall key expiration date. All products on the key expire on this date, regardless of the expiration date within the product itself (if any). Permanent, non-expiring licenses will say “No Expiration.” Leased licenses show the date that the lease expires.
    Note: Leased licenses automatically extend the expiration date each time the Local License Server is contacted. A leased license expires after a set amount of time (21 days by default) without communication with the Local License Server.
  • License Source – Information about the original source of the license. This information is useful to the support team if you have questions about your license.
    Note: License Source appears as "Multiple" when the Licensed Products displayed on the screen originate from the combination of a non-configurable software key and a non-configurable hardware key.
  • License Type – Information about the original license type. This information is useful to the support team if you have questions about your license.

Refresh Data

The Refresh Data button causes the View License Page to re-read the license information (including the header information). This is useful in the event you want to verify several hardware keys without restarting the License Client. The refresh process may take several seconds.

Your Licensed Products

This area displays a scrolling list of all the licensed products on this computer.

If you click on a product in the list, that product is shown in the License Information area, and the Show All Products check box is cleared.
