Before installing ActiveVOS, ensure that you have access to your ActiveVOS Designer or Process Server licenses. Evaluation customers only need a license for ActiveVOS Designer and can use the embedded runtime engine for deployments. A link to download licenses was emailed to you or your company shortly after your purchase or evaluation request.
