Install a license key

You can either install:

• an evaluation license key available in the Download Center of the Neotys website
• the custom license key acquired from Neotys and received by email

The license key must be installed into NeoLoad with the license management tool. Choosing Help > License management > License section gives access to the Use a license file option.

• Tip: It is also possible to install a NeoLoad license key on a machine without using the GUI. Click here for more information.
  • To install a standard license key with no GUI

  1. Copy your license file in the NeoLoad user folder:

     On Linux/Unix, it should be under: /home/<username>/.neotys/NeoLoad

     (your home directory should be the property "user.home").

     On Windows, it is: C:\ProgramData\Neotys\NeoLoad

  2. Make sure the license file is named "license.lic".

  Next step, refer to Activate a standard license key.

  

• Information: Evaluation license keys are already activated.

• To install a license key

1. In NeoLoad, click Help > License management.
2. Select License.
3. Choose Use a license file.
4. Click the Enter a license key button.
5. Select your .lic file and click OK.

   Once the license file is loaded, the License Information section describes its content.

If the license file is invalid, it is either expired or deactivated for the machine—for more information, see Transfer a license key.

If the Status field shows "Not activated", it is necessary to activate the key, as described in Activate a license key.
