Online / Automatic Activation

Update an installed product so it retrieves and applies the latest license from your Deztec account.

Version 1.7.0 and Later

Version 1.7.0 and later automatically refresh the installed license more frequently as it nears expiration or shortly after it has expired. You can also manually trigger a license refresh through the standard subscription interface. Refreshing a license retrieves the current license from the licensing service; it does not renew the license itself.

All Other Versions

Once a license expires, log in to your Deztec customer portal and select the license from the Licenses page. You will be presented with the available renewal terms. Once payment is complete and the license has been renewed, follow the steps below so your installation reflects the updated license.

To use a renewed license, sign in to the server where the product is installed with an account that can modify the installation. Modifying the installation allows the installer to download and apply the updated license.
