Tariscope 4.x. Administrator's guide
Chapter 2. Activation
The installation package of Tariscope contains a trial activation key for the Tariscope Provider edition. The key provides a support for 15 telephone numbers (extensions) 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 licence, you should activate the license.
If you have not yet purchased Tariscope, but you want to try it with a required number of subscribers (for the Tariscope Enterprise edition) or telephone numbers and IP addresses (for the Tariscope Provider edition) for one month, you should create a test activation request and send one to the support service.
To obtain the Tariscope activation key you should generate an activation request on a server where the Tariscope core is located. The Tariscope Main server is the Tariscope core. The Tariscope activation key should be applied only for this server. If the server has a connection to the Internet, it sends the request automatically.
To create a request and apply a permanent or test activation key, use the Activation wizard. The Activation Wizard is available from the following programs: Tariscope or Tariscope Management.
In any of these programs, click on the menu: Help → Activate. The window appears as shown in Figure 2.1.
Figure 2.1
The Tariscope activation consists of the following steps:
1. Creating and sending an activation request file.
2. Applying an activation key.
If the computer, where the request is generated, 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.
In case this 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 Activation Wizard.
