If included with your Windows tools installation, you can access the ARM web licensing portal directly by using the ARM License Wizard version 4.x. This allows you to obtain a license and install it on your Windows client or license server.
Start the ARM License Wizard by selecting Start → Programs → ARM → License Wizard v4.x.
Click Next to display the Action Selection screen. This screen is shown in Figure 2.1.
Select Obtain license, then click Next. This opens a web browser and takes you to the ARM web licensing portal welcome page. See the documentation available on the portal itself for information on how to use it.
Note
The License Wizard might be covered by the web browser window. To return to the License Wizard, click the ARM License Wizard button on the Windows Taskbar.
The License Wizard displays the valid host IDs for the computer on which it is running. An example is shown in Figure 2.2. Select the host ID to which you want the license to be locked, then click Copy to clipboard. This makes it easier to enter your host ID into the web licensing portal.
Once you have obtained your license from the web licensing portal you can then save it locally. If you are using a node-locked license, you can install it and configure your licensing environment using the License Wizard. See Installing a node-locked license manually. Windows license server administrators must follow a different procedure to install the server license obtained through the License Wizard. See Installing the server license.
