Find where activations are in use

As an administrator, identify where activations are used to:

  • Ensure activations are being used properly.
  • Identify activations being used on a computer that was lost, stolen, or failed.

To find where activations are in use:

  1. Click the Home tab and then click Find Available Activations.
  2. In the Available activations table, click a non-zero number in the In Use or Borrowed column to display the Activation Usage Detail dialog box.
    1. Click the In Use number to see a three column grid that provides these details:

      Column

      Description

      Computer

      Name of the computer that checked out or borrowed the activation

      If using dongle-based activations, the hardware ID of the device the activation is bound to.

      Quantity

      Number of activations checked out or borrowed.

      Type

      Floating for activations that have been checked out for currently running sessions.

      Borrowed for activations that are checked out for a specified length of time.

    2. Click the Borrowed number to see a three column grid that provides these details:

      Column

      Description

      Computer

      Name of the computer that borrowed the activation

      If using dongle-based activations, the hardware ID of the device the activation is bound to.

      Borrow Date

      Expire Date

      Tip:

      If the borrow term of a license is updated on the activation server, the Borrow details are not updated in the FactoryTalk Activation Manager client display until the FactoryTalk Activation Service is restarted on the server.
