How to: Install and activate a new license key

In this post I will describe how to install and activate a new license key.

This is important if a trial version of any of our SharePoint solutions is already installed and you want to use a full license key without repairing/reinstalling the solution.

To purchase a license key, go to the product page, click “Licensing Details”, select the license and click on “purchase on ShareIt”. After you’ve purchased a license you will receive a new key by email.

To activate the new key follow these steps:

1. Rerun setup.exe (as administrator). If you can’t find the setup folder, download the new one*.
   
2. Click “Next” on the Welcome screen.
3. Click “Next” after the system check.
4. On the “Repair or Remove” step choose “Activate License Key”** and click next.
   

• Enter the new key and click “Next”.
• After the wizard is finished you should recycle the Application pool(s) to fully apply the new key.
• If the new key is still not applied, make sure there is no validated surety file in the setup folder.

  *) In the SharePoint Web Parts and Templates overview select the solution, click on “Download free trial” and on “click here to download the setup” in the dialog.

  **) If this option is not available you have to download the new setup*. We published the new setup with the “Activate License Key” option on 4/2/2013.
