Enter Activation Key
The Trial/Evaluation version of Avocent AdminWorks management suite will operate with all
features enabled for 45 days from the date of installation. All functions will operate without
restriction, but the maximum number of Managed Systems is limited to 20. After the 45-day
trial period has expired, some of the AdminWorks features will no longer function.
If you are currently using a Trial/Evaluation version of AdminWorks, the Enter Activation Key
command will be available on the Help Menu. It opens the dialog box shown below. The upper
field is non-editable and displays the Serial Number of your copy of Avocent AdminWorks
management suite.
After you have purchased AdminWorks, you will be given an
“
Activation Key.
”
In order to
convert your Trial/Evaluation version into the Full version, you need to enter that number into
the lower field of the dialog box and click OK. If found to be a valid Activation Key, a message
will inform you that it was successful.
If the Trial/Evaluation version expires.....
The first time you attempt to invoke the AdminWorks Console program after the 45-day trial
period has expired, a message similar to the one illustrated below will appear.
