| ===== Validating a License Code ===== | ===== Validating a License Code ===== | ||
| - | Omnidex license codes require validation, which requires contacting the DISC Licensing Server to check that the license if valid. This is normally performed automatically; however, if your server does not have access to the Internet, then validation must be performed manually. | + | Omnidex license codes require validation. When a license is validated, Omnidex gathers the same information about your server that was supplied when the license was requested, and encrypts and sends that information to the DISC Licensing Server. The DISC Licensing Server matches this information with the information on file for this license. If your server has access to the Internet, this periodic step is done automatically and no additional action is required. |
| + | |||
| + | If your server does not currently have access to the Internet, nor did it have access when the license was originally created, then your license has an expiration date in lieu of periodic validation. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If your server originally had access to the Internet, but does not have Internet access when validation is required, you will have a grace period to perform the validation. Omnidex will automatically attempt to validate the license each day, or alternatively, you can manually validate the license using the "VALIDATE LICENSE" command in OdxSQL. | ||

| + | If your server will not have access to the Internet in the future, then [[ install:licensing:request | request a new license ]] that has an expiration date. | ||
