Overview
The Cireson Licensing server model uses a single Product Key to license your Cireson applications and is required for newer application releases.Ā This can be done automatically through an internet connection to the license server from the admin settings below. In cases where internet access is not allowed or restricted, license keys can be generated manually by accessing the License server website.
Please ensure you have a Product Key before installing. A Product Key is designed for use with a specific environment only. If you do not have a Product Key for your environment, please request this through our portal request offering.
