- MARIN License Manager: This directory contains the installer for the MARIN License Manager. This license manager is needed to provide floating product licenses. You need to install this license manager if you have purchased floating license for the MARIN product. Most common is that the MARIN License Manager is installed on a server system. The MARIN product requiring the licenses is installed on a client system.

This service utitly is installed during the installation of the MARIN Product Activation program. Windows FlexNET services are needed to be able to activate MARIN product licenses.
The DVD contains PDF versions of the Installation Guidelines, the Installation of the MARIN License Manager and the MARIN Product Activation.
If you have installed a previous version of the product, please remove this version (and all files) by selecting “add/remove programs” in the Control Panel.
Start the installation by executing the 'setup.exe'.
Installation of all these products requires local administrator rights.
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.
Online activation
Offline activation
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
If you still have problems activating your product go to the Product Activation documentation for more help.
