How to reactivate your license

When SquaredUp have modified your license, for example you have renewed, upgraded your license or purchased more named users, you will need to reactivate the license for the changes to take effect. These instructions apply if you have been told to use the same license activation key as before.

If you have been sent a new license activation key, if for example your license expired before you were able to renew, you should enter the new key on the activation screen (see How to activate your license) when prompted when you open SquaredUp DS.

If your web server cannot connect to the internet then you will need to reactivate offline in the same way as activating offline (see How to activate your license offline (manual activation)).

Use this article if you have been asked to reactivate an existing license activation key.

SquaredUpServer is the name of the server where SquaredUp DS is installed.

By default, SquaredUpInstance is SquaredUp. For v5 it is SquaredUpv5 and for v4 SquaredUpv4. If you gave your SquaredUp DS instance a different application name when you installed it, use the name you chose.

On the server it would be http://localhost/SquaredUp
