A Transaction represents a licensing request from the users machine to the Activation Server 4. Each request (successful or erroneous) is journalized.

 

Every time a request like:

 

•Product activation

•Transfer a license

•Reinstall a license

•Regular license check

 

is done a record=transaction in the Activation Server 4 is generated to document the licensing request.

 

 

 

 

 

Transaction list view

By default, you get a list all transactions for all products. If you have more than 50.000 transactions, it is recommended to display only the last 6 months or 30 days by default. This can be configured per user in the user settings.

 

The list view can be filtered using search criteria like product, key / ID, transaction result etc.

 

 

•Icons in the right column indicate an important status - Icon explanation

You can customize the columns - e.g. if you do not need the reseller column but would like to see the license file version, change the fields to display in the user settings.
