How to Get a License KeyWhen you purchase LanTopoLog 2, you will receive a license key file that will convert the demo into the full version. You need only one license for local network with up to 10000 managed switches. Follow the instructions below. 1. Discover your network with demo version of LanTopoLog 2 and save the discovered topology (click "Apply the New Topology"). Open the registration form (menu - Help - How to Get a License Key) . Select from the list one or two or three switches using checkboxes. At least one of them must always be present on the LanTopoLog map, otherwise, your copy of LanTopoLog is not considered registered. Obviously, the license will last longer if you select 3 switches and not 1 - even if 2 of them are replaced, the third one will provide the license. License cannot be renewed and you cannot add new switches to the license, even if you initially select only one switch for licensing. That is, if all of these registered switches are replaced in the future, then you will need to purchase a new license again. 2. Switch ID will appear in the field below. Email Switch ID to sales@lantopolog.com (copy the string and paste into the email) 3. Purchase LanTopoLog 2 through the program site www.lantopolog.com 4. After you have made payment, your license key file will be emailed to you. Copy the license key file to the folder that is shown on the registration form and restart the program. In case of installable version place the file here: C:\Users\(current username)\AppData\Local\LanTopoLog2\Lic_key\lantopolog.lic In case of portable version place the file here: ..\folder where you unzip the downloaded file\Lantopolog2xx\LanTopoLog2\Lic_key\lantopolog.lic Notes: The license key is bound to the MAC address of the switch, so you can change any switch settings (IP address, Name, etc) - the license key remains valid. Practically the license lasts for 4-5 years (switch replacement time) and the license price takes this into account. |
