Add a License (Quick Method)

When you purchase a license, you will be given an activation code. As indicated in the diagram below, the activation code is just the starting point in the process of adding a license. This code, after being paired with your Machine ID, will generate a license key. With this quick method, most of the work is done behind the scenes.

*This quick method of activation requires that the Orchid Core VMS server has an internet connection.

*When you add, remove, or update a license, a Licensed Changed event will appear on the System Report.

1. Open Orchid Core VMS and sign in using an administrator level username and password.
2. Once signed into Orchid Core VMS, open the System Menu in the top-right corner of the screen and select Activation.

*If Orchid Core VMS has not yet been activated, the licensing screen will show that Orchid Core VMS is using the Trial Edition.

3. When the Orchid Core VMS Activation screen appears, click the Add License button to activate a new license.

4. On the Activation screen, enter your activation code in the Activation Code field. (Sample code: B8034-8BEC3-56C2B-88755)
5. Then input a location description that specifies where your Orchid Core VMS server will be located. Common location descriptions are a shop name, number, or location.
6. Click the Activate button to generate your new Orchid Core VMS license. If the license creation is successful, a screen will appear that indicates success.
