What is WinFrame License Activation?

WinFrame Version 1.7 uses an activation key-based licensing system.  Every licensed WinFrame product (WinFrame Server software, User Bump Pack, or Add-On Pack) has an associated serial number.  When you install the software, you enter the product’s serial number from the product’s Serial Number Sticker and get a license number.  You must then contact Citrix to obtain an activation key.  The activation key is based on the product’s license number and is used by the WinFrame Licensing program to enable the product.  This method offers many benefits, including:

Your system is usable immediately.  All you need to do is enter your activation key and your software is enabled.

You can obtain your activation key any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  The Citrix WinFrame Activation Server gives you your activation key immediately — all you need to do is access the Citrix WinFrame Activation Server, answer a few simple questions, and you’re done in minutes!

You can activate a WinFrame server remotely.  You do not need to be on-site to activate your WinFrame software.  You can activate your WinFrame software remotely by logging on and entering the activation key, no matter where the server is actually located.  All you need is access to an administrator logon account on the WinFrame server.

You can be up and running immediately, and register later.  You have a grace period after you install to activate your software.  The grace period for all WinFrame licenses is seven days.

Any WinFrame Version 1.7 product that requires a license also requires activation.  This includes all versions of the WinFrame server software and all WinFrame Add-On Packs.


Gathering the Data Needed for Activation

Before you contact Citrix to obtain an activation key, you need to gather the information needed for the activation process.  Use the Activation Data Form to help you gather the information you need to supply to activate your WinFrame software.  This form is available on-line as the file %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\REGFORM.TXT.


Using the WinFrame License Activation Wizard

The WinFrame License Activation Wizard can connect to the Citrix WinFrame Activation Server using either a TCP/IP Internet connection or a modem connection.  If you will use a TCP/IP Internet connection, you must install TCP/IP support on your WinFrame server and have an account with an Internet service provider.  If you will use a modem connection, you must have a modem attached to your WinFrame server and properly configured for dialout.  See the Quick Activation Guide  for more information.
