License GRE using GUI and internet

      If you are not provided with a license string, you can generate a license string from your license number, license key, maintenance key, and login. For instructions on how to create a license string, see Encode a license string.

    • To use the combination of license number and license key, enter the license number, the license key, and either the maintenance key or the customer code; then click Install License.
