Symantec pcAnywhere Access Server requires a license to run. Your license determines the maximum number of hosts that can dock to the Access Server at one time. You cannot run the Access Server service until you have installed a license file.

To license your product, you must first register with Symantec. After registering with Symantec, a license file will be emailed to you. License files are digitally signed, so any attempts to edit a license file will result in corruption of the file and render it invalid.

Obtaining a license file

Follow the steps in this section to register with Symantec and download a license file.

You will need the following information for registration:


1. Navigate to the Licensing Portal at http://licensing.symantec.com.
2. Log on to the Licensing Portal.
3. Click License Management.

The License Management application offers a variety of functions that enable flexible management of Symantec Entitlements and related License Keys. This application is used primarily to obtain License Keys. There are three (3) steps to get a License Key:

1. ADD an Entitlement to your portal account
2. REGISTER your Entitlement to get a License Key
3. RECEIVE your License Keys via email

For detailed steps of navigating through the Symantec License Portal, Please click "Help" located in the top right corner of the License Portal log-in screen.


Note: Symantec's licensing tool compresses or "zips" license files to make them smaller and quicker to download. These "zipped" files are not self-extracting, and require third-party software such as WinZip or PKZip to open. If you are unsure whether you need zip utility software, visit the WinZip or PKZip Web sites to download an evaluation copy. For instructions on how to download and unzip files, read the document How to zip and unzip files.

To install the license file:
You can import the license file when you install the Access Server, or you can import it later through the Access Server Manager.
When the installation has been completed and a valid license file is not automatically found on your computer, you are prompted to import one.
  1. Click Yes.
  2. In the Open dialog, select the license file (.slf) that you want to import.
  3. Click Open.

Activate additional host licenses:
If you want to install a license file for additional host licenses you purchased, you must import this license file through the Access Server Manager so that the
additional hosts can dock.
  1. On the Start menu, click Programs > Symantec > Symantec pcAnywhere Access Server > pcAnywhere Access Server.
  2. If necessary, in the Symantec pcAnywhere Access Server dialog box, type the password for the Access Server Manager, and then click OK.
  3. In the pcAnywhere Access Server window, on the Help menu, click About pcAnywhere Access Server.
  4. In the Symantec pcAnywhere Access Server window, click Import License.

    Note: The Host License Count shows the number of hosts that can dock to the Access Server. This number is determined by the license files that are currently stored on your computer.
5. In the Open dialog, select the license file (.slf) that you want to import, and then click Open.
6. Click OK.

Please click this link, if you followed above descripiton but activation is not successful.
