Repository Client Authorization Dialog

This dialog is where you add repository license packs and clients to your repository. Before a client can access a repository you must add them using this dialog. This dialog can be accessed from the Repository >> Client Authorization menu of the main Repository Manager window. It can also be accessed by clicking the Open Client Authorization Dialog button  in the toolbar on the same window.

Note: It’s important to first make sure you have defined your repository URL in the Repository Properties Dialog before adding and activating License packs to your repository. If you change your repository URL you must re-activate your repository Licenses by contacting JKI to get new activation codes.
