The “Request License” item on the Workbench Tools menu simply opens a “Bind License form” in your Workbench PC’s default browser. By default, the only pre-filled field in this form is the host ID of your Workbench PC. See below.

Typically, your Workbench PC is already licensed. Otherwise, you would not be able to successfully start Workbench, and then select Request License from the “Tools” menu.

However, you could use this as quick method to request a license for another PC on which you have installed Niagara. In that case, you could substitute (type in) the host ID for the other PC in this form, along with other pertinent information.
