License Configuration

The License Configuration page is displayed when licensed components of K2 are being installed. To proceed with the installation from this page, you must obtain a License key from the K2 Partner and Customer Portal, or by using the Key Request link provided on the License Configuration page. Once the key is issued, enter it on this page to continue the installation.

• System Key: The system key is generated at the time of installation and must be paired with a valid license key for the installation to be successful.
• License Key: Request a license using the K2 Partner and Customer Portal. Speak with your K2 representative if you have any questions about license types and limitations.

What to do on this page

1. To obtain a license:
   • Copy the System Key.
