The first time you launch DB Optimizer, you are prompted to activate the product. Choose to activate by Internet, and then follow the prompts. During the activation process you will receive an email with an activation key; after you enter that key into the License Setup dialog, you will receive a free 14-day evaluation license.
If due to firewall or other restrictions you cannot use Internet activation, select the email alternative.
To continue using DB Optimizer after the evaluation period
- Select Help > IDERA Licensing > License Registration.
