• Run the goiworx.pex script.

Scripted Activation Procedure

# Note: Make sure the below is all one line. Replace LICENSE_KEY, EMAIL, and PASSWORD

Troubleshooting

• If you get any license activation errors be sure that your server time is correct.
• If you are moving a license from one server to another you'll need to reset the IP of your license or open a support ticket and ask us to do it for you.
• Make sure that license.interworx.com is resolvable and pingable from your server.
• Verify that port 2443 is open both out and inbound to the server.
