Private Activation Server Web Admin Console Guide
Private Activation Server
DH2i Private Activation Server (DxPAS) offers you the volume licensing capability through implementation of your own dedicated private licensing server. Your administrator sets up this server to access and use private volume licenses. Once configured, the Private Activation Server can then serve the license to multiple local DxEnterprise computers. Private Activation Server and local computers do not need to sign in to DH2i Activation Portal to activate and acquire proper license answer file.
DH2i Private Activation Server uses a client-server model to active clients. Local DxEnterprise computers connect to the Private Activation Server for all activation needs. The Private Activation Server and local DxEnterprise computers all reside on your local network.
Connect to DxPAS
Open a browser and connect to the Private Activation Server on port 8080. Enter "admin" as the passkey. Once successfully connected, you will need to change the passkey. Please make note of the new passkey as there is no way to recover it thereafter.
:::NOTE: If the "admin" account is locked, management of DxPAS via Web Admin Console is not available. :::
