Always an available option, this opens a Select File window in which you can navigate to either a source license archive (.lar) file or an unzipped license file. When you select a license or license archive file, an attempt is made to install the license in the host platform.

This option is unavailable (dim) if the host’s license file is not in your local license database, or if the license in your local license database already matches the currently installed license. With this option selected, the license is immediately installed in the remote host platform.

Typically, this option is available if your Workbench PC has Internet connectivity. When you select this option, the system silently searches the licensing server and installs the license.

The license was successfully added, as shown below.

If a station is running on the host platform, this window informs you that the station must be restarted for the license(s) to become effective, and provides a Yes button to do this now. Or, you can select No and do this manually later.

The license currently installed on the host already matches the source license (whether specifying any of the license import options). A window opens as shown below.

No appropriate license (by host ID) was found in either the license file or the license archive specified when importing by file, noted with a window similar to below.

If importing from the license server, and an existing license was not found for this host platform, a separate window (of your default browser) opens with a license request form, showing the host ID for this host.
