Sign in to the server with an account that can modify the installation. Then open
Control Panel → Programs and Features

.req
file somewhere you can easily locate for the next step.

Modify
, and follow the on-screen instructions for Manual / Offline Activation. Save the generated
.req
file somewhere you can easily locate for the next step.

Deztec customer portal
and
upload the .req file
to your account.
3 Renew the License
If needed, renew your license from within your account on the License page.
4 Download the License
