Using CodeMeterAct, license activation and update is done by several steps, as presented below (Licensor = Amano, Licensee = customer):

License procedure for activation
|
The activation process contains three files:
-
License Information File (WBB) - provided by Amano;
-
License Request File (RAC) - generated by customer, based on WBB;
-
License Update File (RAU) - provided by Amano, based on RAC.
|
|
Please note that the supplier cannot read or update RAU files! The licensor will only change RAC files.

When licensing Astrow, we will distinct between:
New license activation: CodeMeter application is newly installed or reinstalled and in this case the process will require a new empty file to be written (see Generating a New Request File). A new license file is required when installing the application for the first time or when changing the server (except making the dongle licenses, which are not bound to the hardware; in this case you just plug it in the new server).
Update license: There is a license deployed already and in this process the existing file will be updated (see Generating an Update Request File). Updating a license means: changing the Astrow application version, changing the options, extend or set the expiration date.
