5.4 Understanding Licensing and Activation

You can install an evaluation copy of Identity Manager and use it for 90 days free of charge. However, you must activate the Identity Manager components within 90 days of installation, or they will stop functioning. You can purchase a product license and activate Identity Manager either during the evaluation period of 90 days or later. For more information, see Section 49.6, Activating Identity Manager.

To purchase an Identity Manager product license, see the NetIQ Identity Manager How to Buy website. After you purchase a product license, NetIQ sends you a Customer ID. The email also contains a URL to the NetIQ website where you can obtain a Product Activation credential. If you do not remember your Customer ID or do not receive it, contact your sales representative.
