Invantive Business Server requires an applicable subscription of Invantive. The existence of such a subscription is verified using a licence key file. Perform the following steps to make the licence key available:
- Copy the full contents of the licence text in your licence mail to the clipboard using <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>A</kbd> or Select All and then Copy.
- Run notepad from the start menu.
- Paste the licence text into notepad.
- Save the file as `invantive.lic` in the folder `%USERPROFILE%\invantive`, which typically evaluates to the `invantive` subfolder of your user profile folder such as `c:\users\myname\invantive`.
- A deviating licence location can be specified using environment variables described in [[License Service]].
