 After you've installed ARDI, you'll be prompted to upload your license file. After you've installed ARDI, you'll be prompted to upload your license file.
 +
 +Often, this file is provided by your OEM or system integrator. Otherwise, it will be sourced from the Optrix online store.
 +
 +===Validating - Generating Your License File from the Optrix Store===
 +
 +Creating your license requires a **server fingerprint** - this is a file that is created from the ARDI web interface that identifies your particular server.
 +
 +In order for the server fingerprint to work, your server must have at least one static IP address that you want to host ARDI from.
 +
 +We also suggest accessing your server from its full **DNS name**. If you use the IP address only, you may find that your license will only allow access //from that IP address//. Using the proper DNS name when downloading your server fingerprint will ensure your machine is licensed appropriately.
 +
 +The flow works like this...
 +
 +   * Generate your Server Fingerprint (this is a clickable link from your ARDI server)
 +   * Upload the fingerprint to the Optrix License Activation Site.
 +   * The activation site then generates your license file, which you can download.
 +   * Upload the license file to your ARDI server.
 +
 +Those that are curious can download a temporary license (great for training or review purposes) from [[http://​store.optrix.com.au/​demo.php]]

 +===License Errors===
 +
 +If you encounter a **License Error #10**, you have an issue with your **server fingerprint**. Normally, this is encountered when //all of your servers IP addresses are dynamic//.
 +
 +To resolve the issue, set your server to a static IP and re-license the server. ​
