This articles covers the process of activating a Node trusted storage license (legacy).
Activation methods
There are two methods of activating Node licenses.
- Online activation (deprecated) - only offline activation is supported.
- Offline activation - This method is done by generating an 'offline requestXML file' and sending this to Lumerical. A 'responseXML file' will be provided to complete the activation process.
