Activating / deactivating licenses

For standalone licensing, you only need to install Analytics Explorer. For more information, see online activation.

To set up a network licensing system, you need to install the License Service on your server and the License Manager on one or more machines with connectivity to the server. For more information, see activating / deactivating network licensing.

Best practice

For network entitlements, activate / deactivate licenses through the License Manager. For standalone entitlements, activate / deactivate licenses through the Analytics Explorer Licensing tool. For more information, see the IHS Markit License Manager help. Do not activate licenses using the EMS Customer Portal unless instructed to do so by a customer care representative.
