19.1 | 102 | **~ **Licenses for the Rangee OS or our Kommbox for Windows can be activated in 3 ways: |
| |
1.1 | 103 | |
| |
19.1 | 104 | * Via a direct connection between the client and our activation server [[rangee.applicense.net>>url:http://rangee.applicense.net||shape="rect"]] via port 443 |
| 105 | * Via an indirect connection via your TCMS (min. firmware 10.00 and TCMS 1.6). The TCMS only needs to have access to our activation server. Clients forward their activation request via this. | ||
| 106 | * If options 1 and 2 are not an option, the devices can alternatively be activated by exchanging an activation request file and license file (see [[Rangee license offline activation>>doc:General - Rangee license offline activation]]). | ||

19.1 | 120 | \\After successful license activation with an activation key, this is used up and cannot be used again. The license is then linked to the MAC address of the device. |
| |
1.1 | 121 | |
| |
19.1 | 122 | * You send the MAC address to [[support@rangee.com>>path:mailto:support@rangee.com||shape="rect"]]. This is then linked to the purchased license in the database. |
