NOTE: This guide applies to the Saga Platform based Locator installations (4.x and up). If you continue to use Locator 2.x or ViaWorks, the guide you need is How to add or replace a Locator 2.x or ViaWorks license
The license has to be added on the Locator main server. If there is any IT team involved who supports the servers, then they can add the license.
Start the Management Console
The Management Console is an application on your Locator server. To open it:
Open an elevated (“run as Administrator”) PowerShell session
Navigate to the Locator install directory
Run the script below to open the Locator Management Console:
.\start-management-console.ps1
Open the License tab
Go to License → Add License
Activating an Online license
Online licenses are the default license type. Your Locator server has to validate the license against our licensing server, which requires an internet connection
Enter the Customer ID and License key you have received, then press OK:
Activating an Offline license
If your Locator environment does not have access to the internet, our licensing department may authorize Support to provide you with an offline license file.
These license files are generated for a specific machine, and to generate one we need the Machine ID displayed in the “Add Locator License” dialog:
To activate an Offline license, select the “Add a license using a license file” radio button and then choose the license file received from Support
Adding license extensions
If the license has the exact same features, user count and document count:
Select the old license
Click the Replace License button
Enter the details of the new license
Click OK
If the license has different features, user count or document count, the procedure above will fail with an error. In that case:
Add the extension as a new license following the process described above
Remove the old license.
Please be aware that this will clear the settings for all user accounts connected to the old license.
