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 Licensing Development Kit component, which interacts with the licensing web service and installs the newly generated license key, may be used directly by the application or it may be used through a simple tool known as the Server Licensing Utility.
