How do I activate the license by command?

Q: How do I activate the license by command?

A: We have online activation (easier) for when you have Internet access, and offline activation (more difficult) for when your machine doesn’t have Internet access.
Both are described in our User Manual – for GUI and for console

In short, to do the online activation you need to execute
{path to Xeoma app executable} -activateOnline ENTER_YOUR_SERIAL_NUMBER_HERE

and for offline activation you need to
1)execute
{path to Xeoma app executable} -activateRequest ENTER_YOUR_SERIAL_NUMBER_HERE

2)copy the response and paste it in a browser of another machine that does have Internet access,

3)get response from browser and copy it to the server machine and then

4)execute on the server machine
{path to Xeoma app executable} -activateResponse RECEIVED_RESPONSE_FROM_BROWSER

Please see the Linux guide in Support tab, or our video for more insights into how to work with Xeoma under Linux.
