Install a vault application licence

Most CtrlDocs vault applications need a licence before they will run. User interface applications do not.

  • The application already installed in the vault — see Install a vault application.
  • The .lic licence file for that product and that vault.
  1. In M-Files Admin, right-click the target vault and select Applications.

    The M-Files Admin context menu for a document vault, with Applications highlighted.
  2. Select the application in the list, then select License.

    The Applications dialog with an application selected and the License button highlighted.
  3. Select Install License…, choose the .lic file, and select Open.

    The licence status dialog for a vault application, showing the current licence state and the Install License button.

The licence dialog shows the current status of the application’s licence, including any licence error, the expiry date, and the number of licensed users where that applies. Read it before you close the dialog — this is the only place the expiry date is shown.

Return to your product’s Set up section and continue configuring it.
