After installing a new Velocity 3.8.4 system, or before updating an existing 3.8.3 system to the 3.8.4 release, you must obtain a Velocity software license and activate it using Velocity’s License Manager. Before performing this topic’s procedures, be sure to follow the instructions in Registering Your Velocity System.

Obtaining a Velocity License

...

  1. After you receive an email from Identiv containing your license key, copy all the characters between the -- License Key Start -- and the -- License Key End -- lines (as shown by the yellow highlighted portion of the following screen capture).

  2. If your Velocity Server is on a different computer, paste your license key into the Windows Notepad accessory, save it as a text file, and transfer it between computers using a USB drive.

  3. Open the Velocity License Manager.

    • If the Velocity Service Control Manager icon is displayed in the Windows taskbar, right-click on it and choose Velocity License Manager from the pop-up menu.

    • If the Velocity Service Control Manager icon is not displayed in the Windows taskbar, click the upwards-pointing triangle on the left side of the taskbar to show the hidden icons for additional programs, and then right-click on the Velocity Service Control Manager icon.

  4. Paste the full license key information into the Add / Renew License pane, and click the Add / Renew button.

    The following dialog should be displayed.

  5. Click OK to close this dialog, and then verify that the Velocity License Manager shows a new row of information about the license you just added.

  6. Adding the license to Velocity is now completed, so you can close the Velocity License Manager.

    If you added the license after performing a new installation of Velocity 3.8.4, then you are done. But if you added the license before moving an existing Velocity 3.8.3 system to the 3.8.4 release, follow the instructions in Updating from Velocity 3.8.2 3 system to 3.8.34

The license key is only valid on the computer with the specified Server ID; it cannot be used on a different computer.
