Activate your license
To activate your PLA 3.0 license, you install a software key on the computer or license server that should hold the PLA 3.0 license. Activating the PLA 3.0 license automatically activates the license keys for your add-ons.
Before you begin
-
To install the software key, you use the
PLA License Key Manager. You access this application using the respective shortcut on your desktop. If this shortcut is not available, make sure the PLA 3.0 license system is installed. For details, see the Installation tasks topic.
-
If you set up licensing through a license server, make sure the license server and computers running PLA 3.0 are connected via a local network, and port 1947 is open for TCP and UDP connections on all systems.
