Introduction #
This article provides a step-by-step guide to acquiring 1C:Enterprise software licenses for both client and server components.
Prerequisite: Setting Up the Database #
Before requesting a license, you need to create and start a file-mode database. When you start the file-mode database for the first time, the system will notify you that no license has been detected and prompt you to choose how you would like to acquire it.
Licensing Options #
This article focuses on acquiring licenses via the Internet (Acquire License) method. However, there are two alternative options:
- Specify License File (received from the License Center)
- Activate Community License
Both alternatives follow a similar process to the Acquire License option. For detailed instructions on these methods, see the 1C:Enterprise Software License Acquisition Guide.
If licenses are already registered but you need to acquire additional licenses, you can relaunch the License Acquisition window from the 1C:Enterprise client’s Designer Mode:
Step 1: Select Acquire License Option #
Select Acquire license option in the License acquisition window.
Step 2: Enter License Kit Details #
Input your License Kit Number and PIN, then click Advanced Settings.
Step 3: Install the License on the Server #
- Enable the option Install the License on the Server.
- Provide the 1C Server IP address.
- Click Next.
Note: This guide describes the process for installing a client license on a 1C:Enterprise server, which is the most common approach. If you need to install a single-mode license on a client machine, refer to the 1C:Enterprise Software License Acquisition Guide.
Step 4: Register the License for the First Time #
Click First-Time Registration to proceed.
Step 5: Input License Owner Details #
- Enter the license owner’s information.
- Save these details for future recovery.
- Check the confirmation box and click Next.
Step 6: Verify and Finalize #
- Verify that the license is being installed on the correct server.
- Click Next to complete the installation.
Conclusion #
You have successfully installed the license on your server. To manage additional licenses, repeat these steps for each client and server license obtained from your distributor.
