Activating the Fleet Tracker license

When applying a license, specify which printers to monitor by changing its state to managed or unmanaged. The printers in these states are considered licensed printers. If you want to monitor more printers that exceed the number allotted by the license, then purchase more Fleet Tracker licenses.

Notes:

• Each license file is associated with a specific MAC address and works only for the server with that address. If your server has multiple MAC addresses, then associate license files with a MAC address that does not change.
• To install Fleet Tracker on a different server, then acquire new license files.
• For unlicensed printers, the collected data are not stored in the database. For unlicensed printers that were previously licensed, the data from the period when they were licensed can be accessed in the historical data views.

To obtain a license file, provide your Lexmark representative with the MAC address of your Fleet Tracker server. Your representative uses the MAC address to generate a license file for your Fleet Tracker.

1. From the Fleet Tracker web portal, do either of the following:

   • Click the link in the license information message at the top of the web portal.

   • Click > Server.

2. From the Apply New License section, browse to the license file.

3. Click Apply > Close.

Notes:

• As long as allotted printers are available for your license, newly discovered printers are set to a Managed state automatically.
• Unlicensed printers remain in Discovered state. You can change the state of printers from the Devices tab. For more information, see Understanding printer states.
