   Note.

   To activate functionality that has been paid for, but not yet activated, you should check the Use current serial number box and click OK

   

3. Select the method of obtaining the system configuration:
   
   1. Use current configuration (for users who have already configured the system).
   2. Set required configuration (for users who have planned but have not yet configured the system, or have partially configured it).
      If this method is selected, it will proceed to set up the required configuration.
