Introduction
Before you activate a license or trial you'll need to install PolySync. To obtain a PolySync release package you can create a download request.
Harbrick ships the license tool used to manage your license. See below to learn how to activate your license and view current license rights.
Activate License with Activation ID
An activation ID is provided by PolySync support and represents the pool of licences. If you have multiple licenses, you will only want to run the following command on each machine once. Calling the license tool twice will assign two licenses (if available) to the same device.
Once an activation ID is attached to a host, it cannot be disassociated without contacting support.
To download your license from the server, paste the activation ID in the command below.
$ polysync-license-tool -a <activation-id-goes-here>Download an Existing License
To download a license that already exists on the license server, you can call the license tool with the '-a' flag.
$ polysync-license-tool -a Generate License Information
You can print the host information with the license tool. Once called, the application contacts the license server and allows PolySync to administer license rights. The output may be requested by PolySync support while debugging license issues.
$ polysync-license-tool -a # requires active internet connection

Downloading PolySync Updates
You can use the license tool to check for updates to PolySync. If updates are found, they will be downloaded for you and placed in the system default folder (Downloads).
$ polysync-license-tool -c # check for updates to PolySync This command will only work if your license has been activated by Harbrick and you have an active internet connection.
