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)

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.
