Tip
We recommend purchasing a subscription license rather than a fixed license key, so you have this extra step to switch to purchasing a fixed license key.
Review the message about subscriptions and click Purchase a License Key.
Select your desired connections and click Purchase.
Complete the secure checkout.
Copy the fixed license key for your new license.
Sign in to the Admin Web UI.
If you haven't installed Access Server, refer to the quick start guides in the installation topic.
To navigate to your Admin Web UI, open a web browser and enter your server's IP address or DNS address as the URL, with /admin at the end. For example, https://192.0.2.22/admin.
Click Activation.
Click Activate License key.
The modal pops up to activate a license key.
Paste the activation key and click Activate License key.
"Fixed license key activated," is displayed, and the license details show on the Activation page.
