Automatically Reported Runtime licenses use a mechanism similar to Toolkit licensing to activate a license for a particular system. In this case, each installation has a unique license that is pulled from the pool of licenses purchased by the customer. When the license key is generated, it contains hardware information that identifies the system on which the license is to be installed.

The Server Licensing Utility (SLU) is a stand-alone application that interacts with the licensing web service and installs the newly generated license key to perform the registration.
