2. Launch the AVA Keying Utility application.
3. Click on ‘Manage Cloud Keys’.
4. Click on the ‘+’ to add another key, then type in an appropriate name and paste in the next code and click Add. You will now see two names, see example below.
5. To Activate the other code simply click the Activate button and the green dot will swop showing you which code is active.
You can Edit the keys using the Pencil icon or remove them with the minus button. You can add as many code as you have, but if the code is only licenced for one user the AVA software can only be used on one system at a time - your administrator will need to ensure users are not activating the same codes on different systems at the same time.
