Click the following link to download the Activation Tool (version 11.0.2309.23):
Note: The ActivationToolNet4.exe utility requires the ActivationToolNet4.exe.config file. If you wish to copy the utility to a different computer, make sure you copy both the .exe file and the .config file.
Note: The utility requires .NET Framework 4.x.
ActivationToolNet4.exe accepts the following command-line arguments:
| Parameter | Description |
| -deactivate | Start the activation tool in deactivation mode. |
| -fingerprint | The hardware fingerprint for the appropriate machine. |
| -hostid | Host ID (MAC address) for the appropriate machine. |
| -key | The activation key for the product. If specified, overrides the key in the key file. |
| -keypath | The path to the activation key file. By default, the utility looks for the "ActivationKey" file in the same folder as the license file. |
| -licpath | The path to the Laserfiche Server license file. |
| -logpath | The path to the log file. The activation tool logs deactivation information to this file. By default, the utility writes to "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Laserfiche\LFActivationLog.txt" or "C:\ProgramData\Laserfiche\LFActivationLog.txt." |
Note: The ActivationToolNet4.exe command-line parameters are case-sensitive.
Example:
By default, the -deactivate flag deactivates the local machine. Starting with version 8.2, the Activation Tool also allows you to deactivate a different machine by specifying the hardware fingerprint and host id of the desired machine. For example:
ActivationToolNet4.exe -deactivate -key ABCDE-ABCDE-ABCDE-ABCDE-ABCDE -fingerprint 1234567890ABCDE1234567890ABCDE12 -hostid 00-11-22-33-44-55
Replace the sample key ABCDE-ABCDE-ABCDE-ABCDE-ABCDE with the activation key for your product installation. Replace the sample hardware fingerprint 1234567890ABCDE1234567890ABCDE12 and sample host id 00-11-22-33-44-55 with the appropriate values for the computer where the Laserfiche product is installed.
Note: To open a Windows command prompt, type Command Prompt in the Windows search box. If necessary, use the DiskDriveLetter: command to browse to the disk drive where Laserfiche Server is installed. Then use the 'cd' command to browse to the Laserfiche Server installation folder. For example, with a default installation, first type c: and press ENTER. Then type cd Program Files\Laserfiche\Server and press ENTER.
