Import License File

SSH Secure Shell for Workstations (SSH Secure Shell) 3.1.1 and later require a license file to function in commercial mode (without the license file, the software will function in non-commercial mode, with PKI functionality disabled).

With the Import License File option you can register your copy of SSH Secure Shell for Workstations.

Note: In commercial distributions, the license file is already included in the installation executable, and no separate license installation is necessary. However, in some cases, such as when installing SSH Secure Shell for Workstations in a corporate environment, the license file may be available separately and requires that it is imported in the client.

If you have received a separate license file (which is called license.dat by default), select the Import License File option from the Help menu. You will be presented with a dialog requesting a file name. Locate the license file and click the OK button. You should see a dialog telling that the license file was successfully imported and copied to the installation directory. Click the OK button to continue. Your copy of SSH Secure Shell for Workstations is now registered.
