Obtaining and Applying Licenses

After your purchase, you will receive an email from Fortra with your license code attached. You can apply the license directly to the Endpoint, or add it using the Powertech Antivirus Server. The Powertech Antivirus Server allows you to apply a license to several Endpoints simultaneously.

To manually license Powertech Antivirus directly on an Endpoint

  1. Rename the file to "license" (no extension).
  2. Save the attached file to the /opt/sgav (or other) directory, where the product was installed.
