Manual Trial License Activation (without Internet connectivity)

If you don't have an internet connection from the BizTalk360 server, you can follow the steps below.

Manually activating a Commercial/Trial License

There may be occasions when no internet connection is available for BizTalk administrators in their BizTalk environments. In this case, it gets difficult for administrators to activate a BizTalk360 license. To solve this problem, BizTalk360 has the capability for BizTalk administrators to be able to activate and deactivate the BizTalk360 license in the offline mode. In this section, we will see how to activate a BizTalk360 license manually. When there is no internet connectivity in the server where BizTalk360 is installed, the Licenses screen will display the following buttons - Get Manual Activation Code, Get Manual Deactivation Code, and Activate.

Note: You need internet connectivity on a separate machine (not on the machine where BizTalk360 is installed) to activate the license.

1. Log in to BizTalk360 (as a Super user)

2. A default environment will be created when you install BizTalk360 for the first time. If required, create a new environment for which you want to activate the license.

3. Click Settings on the home page of BizTalk360

4. Select License from the General tab 

5. In the environmental panel, select the Not Activated and select Get Manual Activate Code

6. Navigate to the Trial tab and enter the Order Number and License Code from the License and Service Certificate issued by the BizTalk360 licensing team.

7. Select Generate Request and it will lead to another tab which holds the generated license key.

10. A License activation code will be generated with a new text box. Copy the License activation code.
