Offline Activation

If there is no Internet connection for security reasons and/or server disposition particularities, choose the Offline Activation type.

This mode consists of three steps:

• generate the activation file on the target server

• go to the online activation system at http://app.gsfcorp.com/macula/activation/ and fill in the form

• apply provided license file to your system

Click Generate to create the activation file; choose a location and save it. The default file name is system.bin and we do not recommend changing it.

Next, copy this binary file to any other computer that has Internet access, then go to the online form available at http://app.gsfcorp.com/macula/activation/ , fill in the required fields and upload the file. The activation system will process your file and allow you to download a license file. This license file will be unique and will only be valid on the same machine from which the original system.bin file comes.

You can close the activation wizard after creating the activation file and reopen it later to apply the license file. Click Browse to locate it and open the license.dat file provided by the activation system.

The validated license.dat file will be loaded, allowing you to finish the registration process.

Click Activate to apply the license file. If the license is valid, you will see an activation success confirmation with the following details:

• product type

• license key

• license key expiration date, if applicable

• support subscription expiration date

• allowed channel amount

The license information will be stored on your server. However, you may wish to save a snapshot of this screen for your future reference, so that this information will be accessible in case of server OS or hardware failure.

Finally, click Done to exit the activation wizard or click Start Quick Setup Wizard to proceed with server configuration.
