Create license update request

Import license update

All license parameters can be modified but the most frequent modification is the expiration date. By default, all applications are delivered with a Demo license with a 30 or 90-day expiration. After installation, the Demo license must be converted to a Full license. A Full license does not have a time limit. This is also known as unlocking or activating a license.

When creating license update requests be sure to only apply for things that your company has already paid for otherwise it may draw out the process of having the requests accepted.
