Problem:

Why do I need an Activation Code?

Resolution:

Many of our products require an activation code when installed more than 6 months after purchase. Normally, this code is retrieved automatically if the system can connect with activate.liant.com. However, all Evaluation versions require an activation code that must be obtained manually.

If the system cannot retrieve a valid code automatically, the LSRV: number, serial/registration number, a list of 4 four letter words known as a "machine digest", and a message directing you to obtain the activation code manually  will display.  

To obtain the activation code, bring up your browser and enter "activate.liant.com" (without the quotes). Enter the required information. The activation code will be sent via email.

If there is a problem with retrieving the code, which is another list of 4 four letter words, please contact support@liant.com for assistance.  

Activation codes are good for only 24 hours.  If you get the error message: "Activation code has expired" before 24 hours have gone by, fix the time, date, or timezone on the system. (Remember that Noon is PM and Midnight is AM.)

On Linux systems, you must also set the TZ variable correctly.
