iWorkflow™ runs as a virtual machine in specifically-supported hypervisors. After you set up your virtual environment or your platform, you can download the iWorkflow software, and then license the iWorkflow system. You initiate the license activation process with the base registration key.

The base registration key is a character string that the license server uses to verify the functionality that you are entitled to license.

There are two methods for activating the product.

• If the system has access to the internet, you select the option to automatically contact the F5 license server and activate the license.
• If the system is not connected to the internet, you manually retrieve the activation key from a system that is connected to the internet, and transfer it to the iWorkflow system.
