Importing Jiwa 7 Licenses

In this article we look at how to import annual license renewal files into Jiwa 7.

For our Opal Logic clients new license files are imported for you by our support team as part of your service agreement.

When you have received your license files save them to a secure location.

Do not make any changes to the name of the licence files as this will make the file invalid
