Import License Key

The Activity Monitor comes with a temporary 10-day license. Uploading a new license key or importing a Enterprise Auditor key can be done from the Activity Monitor Console. If the Activity Monitor Console is installed on a server where Enterprise Auditor has already been installed, it reads the license information from the Enterprise Auditor installation directory.

Follow the steps to import a license key file.

Step 5 – The organization's license key is now imported into the Activity Monitor. The Console returns to the Agents tab and is ready to deploy activity agents.

NOTE: License keys are crafted for companies based on their preference for Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), File System, SharePoint, and SharePoint Online monitoring. Any environment that is omitted from the license has its corresponding features disabled.

Once a key has expired, the Console displays an Open License File… option for importing a new key. Once a new key is loaded, the Console returns to the Agents tab.
