  3. The License Portal checks if your computer has a software or hardware container. You can download a software container as an alternative to attaching a hardware dongle. The first time you download a license to a computer, no software container is found. Select Create Container to create a software container for your computer.

  4. Review the ticket license summary. You can hover over the Features box to see further details. If you have more than one available container, for example, you have one software container and one hardware dongle, you can select which container you would like to activate the ticket on.

  5. Important!

    This window must remain open during the entire process!

    Click Activate to start the license activation process. The license portal now communicates with Vizrt to activate the ticket.
