Activating a hIOmon Subscription Extension

To activate the hIOmon Subscription Extension, first simply click on the "Activate" button at the bottom of the hIOmon Disk I/O Ranger Display "Settings" display window. The "Settings" display will then be updated to show an "Activate" button alongside an "Enter Activation Information:" input text box. See the screenshot below for an illustration:

Enter the e-mail address (of the customer registered at the hIOmon web site who purchased the hIOmon Subscription Extension) and the Order ID number associated with this Subscription Extension into the input text box, then click on the Activate button (located to the right of the input text box). Be sure to use the "|" delimiter to separate the Order ID number from the e-mail address.

NOTE: To activate a hIOmon REST API Subscription Extension, check the "REST API" checkbox to the right of the Activate button before clicking the button. The entered Activation Information will be applied to the hIOmon WIOP (or WIOPF) software if this checkbox is not checked.

The "REST API" checkbox is shown when the hIOmon Disk I/O Ranger Display is connected to the hIOmon REST API web service Also note that the hIOmon REST API can be used to activate a hIOmon WIOP (or WIOPF) Subscription Extension.

Upon successful activation of the Extension Key, a message will be shown at the bottom of the "Settings" display window as illustrated by the screenshot below:

NOTE that the entered e-mail address and Order ID number are transmitted via the Internet to the hIOmon web site, which then returns the proper "hIOmon Extension Key" value. The hIOmon Disk I/O Ranger Display then uses this hIOmon Extension Key to activate the hIOmon Subscription Extension.

When activated, this hIOmon Extension Key will extend the service subscription for the associated hIOmon software for the period length of the purchased Subscription Extension.

Click on the "About" button at the bottom of the "Settings" display window to confirm the new expiration date. For the hIOmon REST API, issue an HTTP Get request directed to the hIOmon REST API resource to obtain the new expiration date.

Also note that the computer system does not need to be restarted in order to activate the hIOmon Subscription Extension.
