Before you can activate your license, you must install the VizrtLicensing service. This service handles the communication between our software protection server and your local computer.

When you connect to the License Portal for the first time, the welcome page provides a download link to the installer.

You can also download the installer at any time, by selecting Download from the License Portal menu. Follow the on-screen instructions from the installer. Aside from the required dependencies, the installer also checks for the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6 and installs this if required. When the installation completes, the VizrtLicensing service starts automatically.

This service must be running before you activate your license online.

For offline license activation, you must still run the installer to obtain all necessary tools for the license activation. However, the service itself can remain stopped.
