Activations
Devices and environments that consumed a license seat. Global monitoring, per-license tab, block/unblock, node-locked approval, and Perpetual vs Concurrent behavior.
An activation records that a specific machine, user, or environment has claimed capacity on a license. Node-locked and concurrent models depend on activations; perpetual online tracks them for compliance and audit.

Activation lifecycle
- Client activates — SDK validation or
ActivationManagerwith hardware fingerprint / device id. - Server records — activation row: license id, device info, timestamp, status (active, pending approval, blocked).
- Enforcement — seat limits block new activations when max reached.
- Node-Locked approval — pending row until product owner approves (when binding mode requires it).
- Block — operator blocks suspicious device; client fails on next online check.
- Deactivate — client or operator releases seat for reuse.
Global Activations page
Sidebar: Activations. Cross-product view when you do not yet know which license key is involved.
- Search — license key, device fingerprint, user email, machine name.
- Status filter — active, blocked, pending, deactivated.
- Date presets — 7D / 30D / 90D / all / custom range for incident windows.
- Block / unblock — force deny on next online check without deleting history.
- Edit notes — support annotations visible to other operators.
- Drill-down — open activation detail or jump to parent license.
API scopes list products you own or administer.
Per-license Activations tab
Faster path when support already has the license key. Same block/unblock and approve semantics as the global list but pre-filtered to one license.

| Perpetual online | Audit / optional max activations | 2/∞ or capped |
| Floating | Device registry; seats often from sessions | Varies |
| Credit-Based / Usage-Based | Device tracking optional; usage on Usage tab | — |
