FastX License Registration

Requirements

  • FastX License Key (Activation Key)
  • FastX Installed on a Linux host
  • Internet for Command Line and FastX web interface
    • Use Manual Registration (For offline and private networks)

Note: License activation is disabled in the RLM web interface.  Please DO NOT use the “Activate” menu to register in the RLM web interface.

Command Line Registration

The Internet on the FastX Linux host is required. Please use the following command to register FastX:

sudo -u fastx /usr/lib/fastx/4/install/activate

A license key prompt will occur. Enter the FastX license key (activation key) and the number of users that will be registered on the FastX Server. A connection to our activation server will process over the internet and save a license file in the correct directory.

FastX Web Interface Registration

Log into FastX using a browser as an admin. Then go to the admin settings of FastX.

Go to “Local System” -> “Licenses”, then hit the + icon to register a FastX license key. Enter in your License Key (Activation Key) and hit Submit. A connection to our activation server will process over the internet and save a license file in the correct directory. The FastX Linux host does not need Internet because the communication with our activation server happens through the browser.
