Before you begin
Obtain the Host ID of the License Host to activate license entitlements on a new License Host.
About this task
Use the License Activation Code (LAC) to activate one or more license entitlements. You can activate all the licenses, or you can specify the number of licenses to activate from the available quantity. On 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 of the number of activated licenses and the License Host. You can reach the license file by using the License/Key tab of the Activation Record in PLDS. The license file is also attached to the Activation Notification email message. You must install the license file on WebLM to use the licenses.
For more information on PLDS, see Getting Started with Avaya PLDS at http://support.avaya.com.
