Importing a product activation kit

To install your permanent license key, you might need to download and import a product activation kit from the product media or product download location.

Before you begin

Some packages use a product activation kit to install the permanent license key. You must first purchase an activation kit if you do not have one. If you have purchased a product or a product activation kit, insert the CD or download the activation kit to an accessible workstation. The activation kit is stored in a *.jar file. For detailed information about the location and name of the activation kit for your product, see the product Installation Guide.
