The OpenText Identity Manager driver for eDirectory does not need a separate activation. If you create the driver in a driver set where you have already activated the OpenText Identity Manager server and service drivers, the driver inherits the activation from the driver set.
If you create a driver in a driver set that has not been activated, the driver will run in the evaluation mode for 90 days. You must activate the driver during the evaluation period. Otherwise, the driver will be disabled. If you try to run the driver, ndstrace displays an error message indicating that you need to reactivate the driver. For information, see Activating OpenText Identity Manager in the OpenText™ Identity Manager Overview and Planning Guide or Activating OpenText Identity Manager in the OpenText™ Identity Manager Install and Upgrade Guide for Windows.
