3.2.2.2 - A ctivating Licenses
You need to activate a license only once; thereafter, it is associated with the PC where the ShareScan
database is installed.
Note:
You do not need to activate the license(s) immediately to start to use ShareScan. You’ll have a 30 day grace period that
allows full functionality for ShareScan. Activate the license(s) only if you’re sure that the SQL Server used for the
ShareScan system (either the local one installed with ShareScan or an existing one) are the final one, as the activation
process binds the licenses to the SQL Server machine.
1. Click the Activate button of the License Wizard. The Welcome screen is displayed. Read the
instructions carefully, and ensure that this is the operation you want to perform.
2. Click Next to continue. The server name and the Hardware ID of the currently used database server
are displayed on screen.
3. Check the Use Failover Server ID for activation checkbox, if you want to set up a failover database
server. There are three options to specify the HWFP of the failover server:
1. Use a previously specified ID (if there is one)
2. Enter it manually, if you previously have run the gethwfp.exe tool on the PC where the
failover database is installed, or will be installed. The command line tool displays a 12-
character long ID you have to enter manually into this input field.
3. If the SQL Server is already up and running on the PC you want to use as a failover machine,
enter the server name (including the instance name separated with a backslash, if a named
instance is used), the sa user name and password, then click the Read ID button. An sa
account is required to perform the HWFP read operation.
4. Click Next to continue.
5. If you have an active Internet connection on the PC where you use the ShareScan Administrator
Console, select Automatic activation on the Select activation mode screen, then click Next
6. Click Start. Automatic activation will be started via Internet. After finishing the automatic activation,
the Results screen is displayed, showing the success or the error status of the individual licenses.
7. If you do not have an active Internet connection on the PC, select the Manual activation option.
8. Click Next to continue. The Output file creation / Activation screen is displayed.
9. Click Start to begin activation. The Specify file output screen is displayed.
10. Specify a folder and a file name for the ZIP file that contains the licenses to be activated. Transfer
this file to a portable media or to a network share.
11. Upload the resulting file to the activation server via the Nuance activation website. Follow the
instructions provided on the web page. After the successful activation, the server automatically sends
