Arbortext Publishing Engine Licensing
Arbortext Publishing Engine needs a node-locked FlexNet license to run. A node-locked license is for use on a single computer. Your Arbortext Publishing Engine node-locked license is customized for your site, and it enables specific features you have licensed for your Arbortext Publishing Engine implementation. If you have questions about what your license covers, consult your Arbortext account representative.

If you have a license file for a previous release of Arbortext Publishing Engine (7.0 or earlier), you will not be able to reuse it for Arbortext Publishing Engine 7.1. With each new release, you will need to obtain a new license.
Arbortext software licenses are available online for customers covered by an active maintenance agreement. You must have a PTC online account and a Customer Number to get a license. If you do not already have one, you can establish a PTC online account at support.ptc.com.
After the license file is installed, you'll be able to test your basic Arbortext Publishing Engine configuration.
If your site has the Arbortext Import/Export option installed for use on Arbortext Editor workstations or Arbortext Publishing Engine Interactive, Arbortext Import/Export must also be licensed on your Arbortext Publishing Engine server. Refer to the Arbortext Import/Export chapter of the Customizer's Guide for information on configuring and using Arbortext Import/Export.
