Activating a Fiery option

When you activate a Fiery option, make sure you record the following:

  • ID of the Fiery server. On the Configuration page, you can find the ID under BIOS Setup. In Command WorkStation, you can find the ID in Device Center under Server Configuration on the General tab. Click RIP and look for the ID under BIOS Setup on the right.

  • Name of the option

  • License Activation Code (LAC)

You can activate options automatically or manually, depending on whether the Fiery server on which you are activating the options is connected to the Internet. For more information, see Managing licenses.
