2.1.4.1 Installing Workbench Licenses

Workbench licenses are contained in a file with the proprietary extension 'sy9' and are managed with the Synactive License Manager. Licenses are managed by the License Manager. This is a bundled tool and you use it to install, add, remove, validate, and request licenses from Synactive. However, you will use the License Manager tool to install the new licenses once you receive them.

This section explains to you how to manage the Liquid UI Workbench licenses in the License Manager using the following actions:

• Importing a license
• Manually adding a license
• Removing a license
• Validating a license
