Before installing a license key, make sure the correct system date is set on a client computer!

You can create the task of the license key remote install using the Quick Start Wizard and launch the wizard: 

• from the Global tasks node. A global task is created. 

• from the Licenses node by the Install a license key command. A global task is created. 

• from the Group tasks subfolder of any group. In this case the Select computers step is missing. A group task is created for the group.

The wizard's steps are the following:

1. In the welcome window click Next.

2. Enter the name of the task and click Next.

3. In the Select application window select the application to perform a task. In the Application list choose the necessary application, and in the Task type – choose License key installation task.

Click Next.

4. In the next window define the path to the key file which should be installed (click the Browse button). Pay attention, on this stage the key is not checked if it corresponds to the application selected or not.

For some products the option is called Use as a reserved license key or Install this license key as a reserve key
