Tariscope 4.6. Administrator's guide
Chapter 3 Activation
The Tariscope installation package contains a trial activation key for the Tariscope Provider edition. The key provides a support for 15 extensions (telephone numbers) or IP addresses and works for 15 days. The Tariscope Provider edition includes all features of the Tariscope Enterprise edition and some additional features.
If you purchased the Tariscope license, you should activate the license.
If you have not yet purchased Tariscope, but you want to try it with the desired number of subscribers (for the Tariscope Enterprise edition) or extensions and IP addresses (for the Tariscope Provider edition) for one month, you should create a test activation request and send one to the SoftPI Support Service.
To obtain the Tariscope activation key you, in the menu, select Additional options → License.
The Tariscope page will look like the one shown in Figure 3.1.

The Tariscope activation consists of the following steps:
- Creating and sending an activation request file.
- Applying the activation key.
If the computer with the Tariscope server has a connection to the Internet, sending a request, receiving, and applying an activation key are performed automatically by Tariscope. The automatic generation and applying the key are performed by the Tariscope Main service (Tariscope server).
In case the Tariscope server has no Internet connection, the Tariscope administrator should send the request and get the activation key himself by e-mail, and then apply it using the License page.
