Activating license entitlements

Before you begin

About this task

Use License Activation Code (LAC) to activate one or more license entitlements from the available licenses. After successful activation of the license entitlements, PLDS creates an Activation Record and sends an Activation Notification email message to the customer who is registered with the entitlements. The Activation Record and Activation Notification provide details on the number of activated licenses and the License Host. The license file can be accessed on the License/Keys tab of the Activation Record in PLDS and is also an attachment to the Activation Notification email message.

Procedure

  1. In your web browser, type http://plds.avaya.com to go to the Avaya PLDS website.
  2. On the PLDS website, enter your Login ID and password.
  3. In the LAC(s) field of the Quick Activation section, enter the LAC that you received in an email message.
    noteNote

    If you do not have an email message with your LAC, see "Searching for entitlements" and make a note of the appropriate LAC from the LAC column.

    noteNote

    The Quick Activation automatically activates all license entitlements on LAC. However, you can remove line items or specify the number of licenses to activate from the available licenses.

  4. Enter the License Host information.

    You can create a new license host or use an existing license host.
