Software tab

This tab displays the products you have purchased from legacy IHS Markit (now part of S&P Global) after you connect to the Entitlement Management System (EMS). Click the Activate tab to activate products from the list, and click the Deactivate tab to deactivate products from the list. For more information, see activating / deactivating network licenses.

These items are defined as follows:

Entitlement Id — enter the entitlement ID (EID) sent to you via email, and click Connect. This enables you to activate licenses or deactivate / move licenses from one machine to another. When connected, you can also view licenses for the EID.

Remember Me — if you click this checkbox, your entitlement ID is saved, so that you can quickly reconnect to the Entitlement Management System (EMS). The EID is automatically saved while the License Manager is open.

Activate tab — lists the products you can activate.

Deactivate tab — lists the products you can deactivate.

Refresh icon — click this icon to refresh the product list in the table.

(Activate tab only) Save Troubleshooting Data button — if you do not see the products you want in the list, Customer Care may ask you to click this button to generate a text file for troubleshooting purposes. If you need assistance, please contact us.

Activate / Deactivate button — click this button to activate or deactivate products.

Columns are defined as follows:

Product — the product name available for use.

Software — the licenses available for use. Tooltips display the individual modules that are available for each license.
NET = network; SUB = subscription; MAINT = maintenance; PERP = perpetual (version-locked license)

(Deactivate tab only) Activations — the number of times this product has been activated.

(Activate tab only) Version — the version of the module associated with this EID. This value may be set to ALL, depending on the license type.

Note:   A version of ALL indicates that a license is not version locked and can use any version of product compatible with the Gemalto licensing system.

(Activate tab only) Modules — the number of modules that are available for use.

(Activate tab only) Start Date — the start date of your entitlement. This is the first day when you can use or activate and use a module.

(Activate tab only) End Date — the end date of your entitlement. This is the last day when you can use a module.

(Activate tab only) Seats Available — the number of network seats available for activation.

(Activate tab only) Seats To Activate — the number of network seats you want to activate at this time. Edit this column to change the number of seats that will be activated (up to the number of Seats Available).

Note:

For each row in the Activate tab, mouse-over text is displayed that identifies the software that is currently selected. For each row in the Deactivate tab, mouse-over text is displayed that identifies the activation date, seats, and modules.
