Online Activation

Before you get started you will need:

Access to the Kepserver Activation ID from the purchase fulfillment email (see step 4 below).

The host computer Authentication Credentials for the License Utility if this option was chosen during installation.

My Kepware account

An internet browser with internet connection.

Caution: Microsoft Edge browser has known incompatibility issues with this process; use of an alternate browser is recommended

To start, open the License Utility on the host machine.

Right-click on the KEPServerEX icon located in the System Tray and then select License Utility.

Or
- All Programs / Kepware / KEPServerEX 6 / License / License Utility

Or
- If the Start Menu and Taskbar options are not available
  - "C:\Program Files (x86)\Kepware\KEPServerEX 6\activationclient.exe"

2. Caution: Access to the License Utility may be password protected if the option was chosen during the install process.

3. Verify the “Perform Licensing Operations Online When Possible” option is selected, and then select Activate

4. Locate Activation ID(s) within purchase fulfillment email (Example shown below).

5. Copy and Paste the Activation Activation ID(s) into the License Utility.

Note: To activate multiple licenses at once, enter one Activation ID per line. A maximum of 100 activations can be performed in a single transaction.

Then, enter the user name and password for the My Kepware account being used to deploy the license.

NOTE: The (Optional) fields are useful for Tech Support to locate a lost license, populating them is highly recommended as is using site credentials rather than an individual.

Caution: More than one license for the same product or driver cannot be activated on the same machine. Additional or different product licenses may be activated successfully, but a new license for an existing product overwrites the existing license.

6. Click Next to activate. The License Utility will communicate with the license server to perform the license activation.
