|---|---|
Path to Activations | Either a local directory path for locating activation files on the computer's hard disk drive or a server name. Selecting the checkbox includes the path in the search path list. Clearing the checkbox removes it from the list. |
Add Server | Create a new, blank row in the Path to Activation list. Click the Browse button to use a folder tree to locate the computer on your network. |
Delete | Removes the currently selected path from the Path to Activation list. |
Up | Moves up the selected path one position in the list to modify the search order. |

Merge to Default | Merges activations in multiple local folders to the default Activations folder. This button is only visible when more than one local folder is present in the search path. Tip: Clicking this button results in the activation files being copied from the previous folder to the default Activations folder. A progress dialog box opens during the copy operation. If an error occurs, the progress dialog expands to reveal a list of errors. If a file is not successfully copied, then that file's directory is not removed from the server search path. |
