Can I activate the product license before the start date?

No, product licenses can only be activated when the set start date and time are reached. Activation will not be possible before this period as the license is time-restricted based on the agreement.

There are three different options for the product activation:

• Online activation: MetaDefender will connect directly to the OPSWAT licensing server online, and acquire its license based on your Activation key and its Deployment ID.
• Offline activation: Requiring you to upload a license file (.yml). That license file could be retrieved by activating your license via OPSWAT Portal. Follow the displayed instructions for details.
• Request trial key online: For evaluation purpose, you can receive a trial Activation key via email. Follow the displayed instructions for details.v

If you require early activation before the official start date, please contact our sales team for further assistance.
