Requesting K2BTools licenses

Introduction

This page describes the procedure that must be followed to request and install K2BTools licenses. This applies both to the Full and Free Edition versions.

Procedure

If the licenses will be installed in the developer’s computer, the following steps must be completed. If the installation will be on a Protection Server, some steps must be completed before continuing with this procedure (See Protection Server K2BTools setup).

Step 1 - Execute K2BTools’ License Manager

Open GeneXus, go to K2BTools’ menu and execute the “Authorize K2BTools” action.
