Only Permanent and Leased licenses can be activated. Before activation these two types are treated as "demo". They need to be activated before the Activate by date. If they are not activated by then they become invalid and the ATS software application requiring that license will not be able to run.
If you have an internet connection you can find a printable PDF version of this page here.
