Activate License for NCache Enterprise .NET Core

After downloading NCache, a license key can be obtained from Alachisoft Sales to activate your copy. This activation for NCache .NET Core can be done through Command Line.

Online Activation

  • For online license activation, approach the /opt/ncache/bin/activation folder of NCache, where the activation script is placed. Here's the command for that:
cd /opt/ncache/bin/activation
Note

NCache is installed in the /opt/ncache folder by default.

  • In the Command Prompt, write the following command. The key can be obtained from Alachisoft Sales.
sudo ./activate -f <FirstName> -l <LastName> -e <EmailAddress> -k XXXXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXXXX
  • After running this command, you will be displayed with a confirmation message saying Thank you for registering your copy of NCache.

Manual Activation

To manually activate your license, you need to generate an activation request code to be sent to Alachisoft Sales in order to receive the activation authentication key from Alachisoft.

sudo ./activate -f <FirstName> -l <LastName> -e <EmailAddress> -k XXXXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXXXX -m
