This topic covers how to obtain your licensing information, download and install PrizmDoc, and complete your registration. Note that the Prizm Licensing Utility (PLU) is designed to assist you with all the licensing options, so you will see other licensing options on the dialog boxes. This topic covers only the node-locked licensing instructions for the Viewer and Server distributions.

1. Obtain Licensing Information
   
   When you signed up to evaluate PrizmDoc, you received an email with your Software Registration Information. The email message will contain a link to the Customer Portal, where you can obtain your licensing information for PrizmDoc. You will need to obtain the following information from the Customer Licensing Portal:
   

   Solution Name	This string is used to validate the configuration file.
   Configuration File	This file contains the information the Prizm Licensing Utility (PLU) requires in order to obtain a license for your system.
   Access Key	If you purchased several licenses, the Access Key is used to denote a specific license within the "pool" of purchased licenses. If this value is not provided, the Prizm Licensing Utility (PLU) will use the next license in your pool of licenses.  If you purchased an Annual License of PrizmDoc, it is recommend that you supply an Access Key. If you have multiple keys that expire on different days, the Access Key will allow you to differentiate between the licenses and ensure that the product will expire on the expected date.

2. Download and Install the Product
   If you have already installed the product for evaluation or other purposes you can skip this step.
   The PrizmDoc product can be downloaded from the Accusoft web site: PrizmDoc. After you have downloaded the appropriate product installer, run the installer according the version's installation instructions.
   
3. Run the Prizm Licensing Utility (PLU)
   
   The installer will run the Prizm Licensing Utility (PLU) automatically as one of the final steps in the installation process. If the installer completed successfully, but you did not see the Prizm Licensing Utility, or closed it accidentally, you can launch the utility from the following location:

7. Enter Solution Name
   
   In Step 1 above, you acquired the Solution Name. Enter the value that was assigned to your distribution into the text box below:
   This field is case-sensitive.

8. (Optional) Enter your Access Key
   
   The use of an Access Key is not required, but it is recommended for Annual Licenses. If you have multiple keys that expire on different days, the Access Key will allow you to differentiate between the licenses and ensure that the product will expire on the expected date. The Access Key is a unique identifier for each distribution license purchased. If an Access Key is not provided, the Prizm Licensing Utility (PLU) will use the next license available in your licensing "pool".
   

9. Acquire a License
   
   Once all of the information has been provided, click the Acquire License button to register your system with Accusoft.
   If your system does not have Internet access to reach the Accusoft Licensing Services, then the Prizm Licensing Utility (PLU) will fail to register your system. In this case, you will need to follow the manual registration instructions: Node-locked without an Internet Connection.
   
                  
     
10. Registration Complete

Your system has been licensed for use. If you purchased an Annual License, the Prizm Licensing Utility (PLU) will display the expiration date for the license which was acquired.
