Activating Your Nintex RPA License

Two Methods of License Activation

In order to use the Nintex RPA platform, you must first receive a license file from your Nintex RPA sales contact. In the most cases, the license file requires activation on the Internet. However, if your Nintex RPA Server does not have readily available internet access, you can receive a license file that does not require internet activation.

Activating on the Internet

If you are activating your license using the Internet:

  1. Follow the steps described in Activating Your License.

    • Skip Creating a Company Key, as these steps do not apply to internet activation

Activating without the Internet

If you are activating your license without an internet connection:

  1. Follow the steps in Creating a Company Key.

  2. Then proceed to the steps in Activating Your License.

To create a company key:

  1. In the Nintex Admin Tool Menu Pane, click Companies and Users.

  2. In the Entities Pane, select the company for which you want to create a key and receive a license.

  3. In the Properties Pane, select the Licensing tab.

  4. Click Create Company Identity.

  5. From the dialog box that opens, click Copy to clipboard to copy the generated company key.

  6. Send the company key to your Nintex RPA sales contact, who will use it to generate your license file.

  7. After you receive your license file, proceed to Activating Your License.
