The next step in the installation is activating your product.

Product activation

MARIN software is protected with a license. To be able to use a MARIN product, a valid license must be used. MARIN has upgraded their licensing product and now uses two licensing models, online licensing (trusted storage-based) and offline licensing (certificate-based). The advantage of online licensing is that you do not have to wait for a license file from the Marin support department and that you can activate the Marin product directly. 

If you received an activationID together with your product or in an e-mail, you can continue to activate your product using the online licensing (trusted storage-based) 

If you did not receive an activationID together with your product, you need to follow the offline licensing (certificate-based) guide.

For installation of a floating (or server) license you need to install and configure the FlexNET Publisher License server and the MARIN specific license daemon. See: Installing MARIN license manager
