Installing a first license when logging in
If there is no license installed on the server, you will be able to install a first license when trying to log on with the Workbench. After installing a first license you will able to work with the server and install further licenses.
In a case of a server without a license a dialog which refers you to the absence of a license and asks you whether you would like to install a new license now. Confirm the dialog in order to arrive at the next step, entering the license number.

Then a second dialog appears, in which you are requested for the license number.
Request an evaluation license
With the button "Request evaluation license" you can request an evaluation license from the instantOLAP server at the time of the license input. An evaluation license can be used for testing instantOLAP. It is valid for one month and covers 3 administrators.
After pressing the button a further dialog appears, in which you must type in your name and a valid email address. Then the dialog connects the instantOLAP webserver which will immediately send an email containing the new license to the provided email address. Open your mailbox now and transfer the license code into the license dialog.
Your computer must be online and able to connect the instantOLAP server to request an evaluation license. Alternatively you can also request a license manually from the instantOLAP website (http://www.instantOLAP.net).
Input of the license number
Enter the license code (which you received) in the field "License code" and press the button "Set" right from the input field thereafter.
If the license code was correct, the input field will deactivate and the dialog will ask you to unlock the license.
Unlock the license
The second step after the input of the license number is to unlock it. To unlock a license means to announce its usage to the the instantOLAP webserver.
For unlocking a license you receive a "Challenge code" from the license dialog, which contains the license number and the used IP of the server - this challenge code is displayed in the dialog after the input of the license code in the second line.
You can also unlock a license automatically in order to save the manual conversion of the challenge code into a response code. You will be asked to unlock the license automatically by the system after entering the license-code. For an automatic unlock your computer must be online and the Workbench must be able to connect the instantOLAP server (www.instantolap.net).
Some licenses, e.g. an evaluation license you received from the instantOLAP web-page, do not need to be unlocked. In this case the input of a license is finished directly after entering the license code.
Delete the license
You can delete the license at any time with the "Delete license" button and start the input process from the beginning.
