DETAILS
1.
Harris
Technical Support needs to create a new maintenance contract in the CRM using
the following partnumber: 43OFFACT. This contract
should be associated to the contact record of the requestor. The requestor
should be DPL checked first.
2.
When
configured, the contract should be pushed to the Flexera
system. The access to the Activate Offline binaries is then available to the
requestor on D&LC. An email is automatically sent to the requestor.
3.
The
customer will download the binaries and install them. The installation should
be done both on the offline computer as well as on the online computer that
will be used for license activation.
After installing the binaries, new
buttons will be added to the Harris License Administrator tool to allow offline
activation.
Note that IDL or
ENVI installation is also mandatory for both the offline and online machines to
complete offline activation.
4.
Detailed
instructions for offline activation are available with the binaries on
D&LC. The customer is invited to download them. In summary:
a.
The
customer will use the Harris License Administrator tool on the offline machine
to retrieve offline machine details. They will be saved in a file.
b. The customer will then move the output
file from the offline machine to the online machine and use the Harris
License Administrator tool on the online machine to activate the license using
the activation codes and the offline machine details.
c. The binary file generated with the previous
step on the online machine will be transferred back to the
offline machine for license installation using the Harris License Administrator
tool on the offline machine.
