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.

Follow the steps described in Activating Your License.

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