The Activation Server 6 is a .NET service and needs a Windows server system with .NET.

The installer package checks, if all necessary components are installed and if it is missing, it will automatically download the component. The installation of every component is described in the following chapters.

 

 

We recommend installing the server on a virtual machine. This simplifies the installation and maintenance.

 

If you have multiple websites running on the same server, a good idea is to create a subdomain for the Activation Server 6.
