In this section you can activate new IIS Mod-Rewrite using the purchased license key, or you can de-activate it so you can move the installation to another server.


Activating IIS Mod-Rewrite

IIS Mod-Rewrite is a "try before you buy" product. So when you install it, it initially works in evaluation/test mode. This mode allows you to test, evaluate, or use IIS Mod-Rewrite for development purposes in full function for unlimited time for localhost originated requests. Additionally, IIS Mod-Rewrite will work for either 1000 requests or 30 minutes for non-localhost requests after IIS is loaded. When these limits are exceeded, IIS Mod-Rewrite stops processing non-localhost requests and you need to restart IIS to get it back running again.

In a production server, you need to raise the limitations above by activating IIS Mod-Rewrite. To activate IIS Mod-Rewrite, type the license key that you have purchased from Micronovae Ltd, and click on button "Activate" to activate it online. If you don't have a license key, click on button "Purchase" to buy one online.

There are two important things regarding the activation mechanism:

• To activate IIS Mod-Rewrite, your server must be connected to the internet.

• If you own a single license key, you will be allowed to activate IIS Mod-Rewrite on only one server. If you own a volume license key for n licenses, you will be allowed to activate IIS Mod-Rewrite on up to n servers.

• After you activate a IIS Mod-Rewrite on a server, you will see the button "Deactivate". By pressing this button you remove the activation. This way you can activate IIS Mod-Rewrite on another server using the same license.

• IMPORTANT: when you want to make a major hardware upgrade to your server, you MUST first deactivate IIS Mod-Rewrite, then do the hardware upgrade, and finally activate IIS Mod-Rewrite again using the same license key.
