License Activation

To obtain the Developer License(s) for your product, you need to go to My Account page and enter your MachineId(s) in field(s) defined for Single Developer license(s) and press the "Generate" button. Your generated license key will be diplayed instead of the machine ID field.

You can locate the Machine Id by running the Nevron License Key Manager from your development machine:
Start menu >> All Programs >> Nevron Open Vision program group >> License Key Manager



Your development Machine Id should also be displayed in the evaluation watermark and nag screen when running the examples shipped with Nevron Open Vision for .NET.

The Desktop License is required for redistribution of your compiled application which uses Nevron Open Vision controls. You don't need to add the Desktop license in the Nevron License Key Manager - it has to be configured programmatically through code.

Note: The Desktop license key will not work when you run your application(s) in debug mode on another development machine which doesn't have a valid Developer license.

To obtain the Server License(s) for your product, you need to provide Nevron Customer Service with the appropriate Machine Id(s) for the Production Server machine(s) which will be displaying Nevron Vision for .NET web controls.

You don't need to install Nevron on the web servers – you can redistribute the required Nevron DLLs with your application.

The machine ID for the web servers can be obtained in the following two ways:
1. Copy/paste the Nevron License Key Manager application from your development machine on the server and run it. It will provide you with the server machine ID.
2. When you run the application on the server, the machine ID will be displayed in the evaluation watermark.

Note: For the Desktop and Server licenses, it is recommended that you configure the licenses programmatically (not through the License Key Manager). That way, you will suppress any special permission for the ASP.NET account.

To obtain the Server License(s) for your product, you need to provide Nevron Customer Service with the appropriate Machine Id(s) for the SharePoint Production Web Front End (WFE) Server machine(s) which is running and displaying the Nevron Vision for SharePoint web parts.

You can locate the Machine Id through the Nevron Chart/Gauge Web Part Designer >> Licensing tab (the Licensing tab will be available once you connect the web part to some data source):



In order to properly add the license key (to store in the farm), on the SharePoint configuration database in SQL Server (usually SharePoint_Config), you may need to provide EXECUTE permissions for the account running the Application Pool for the web application. If needed you can remove the EXECUTE permission afterwards.

If you then receive an error message regarding the cache.ini file when saving the license key:
For the Config folder at: "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\SharePoint\Config", provide Full control for the WSS_WPG group on all WFE servers. Check that the permissions are also applied to the cache.ini file under the config folder. Then save the license. Once the license is saved, you can roll-back the permissions for the Config folder.

Once the key is added to the farm, you will be able to revert these configuration settings.
