Activating and Deactivating Product Keys
To determine which procedure to follow for activating and/or deactivating a product key, you will need to know the license mode (Static or Dynamic), and if the computer that RPM is on has Internet access or not. Using this info in the table below:
Activating a Product Key
There are two methods to activate your product key, based on your network setup:
• Online Mode
• Web Based OLA Mode
To activate a product key (Web Based OLA Mode)
This procedure can be followed whether your Ross Platform Manager server is connected to the Internet or not. However, you will need to use a computer with Internet access to complete the activation.
1. Open Ross Platform Manager, and in the Product Key Manager click the Add Product Key icon.
The Add Product Key (Offline) window opens.
2. Paste the 15 digit product key provided by Ross video in the Product Key input field. You may add up to 100 product keys at once, separating each 15 digit product key with a delimiter (either a space, a new line, or a comma).
Note: Ensure there is no delimiter after the final product key. A delimiter after the final product key will cause RPM to expect another product key to be added, and the Add button will not be usable.
3. Click Add.
In the Product Key Manager you should see the product key listed in the table, and the Status of Not
Activated.
4. Double-click a product key just added in the Product Key Manager table.
The selected product key in the Product Key View opens.
5. In the Product Key View, click the Request Activation (Checkout) icon.
