Please be prepared to provide the following information:

  1. If reaching out via email, please title your email "License Key Request" to ensure priority response.
  2. Include the name of the purchasing company or organization.
  3. Include the Serial Number from the metal tag on the rear of the system.
  4. Include your original purchase date.

ProMAX will take this information and provide you with a License Key that will look like this:

 **In order for the license to take effect, the Listener and IIS must be restarted.  Alternatively, the server can be restarted as well.

(v5.7+)

Promax will update internal server list to apply the Cloud License.  As long as your server has Internet connectivity, you may refresh the Licenses page and the Cloud License should appear.
