NOTE: Any Bamboo Suite product you install will be automatically activated.

Optional Step:

Bamboo products are deployed to all servers in the farm running the SharePoint 2007 Windows SharePoint Services Web Application, the SharePoint 2010 Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application service, or the SharePoint 2013 Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application service, which may include servers that do not serve Web content. Only servers that serve Web content and have Bamboo products installed need a license key, but all servers will appear on the Web License Manager Status and Activation pages.

If you would like to select only Web front-end servers to be displayed in Web License Manager, click the Choose License Server(s) link on the Bamboo Web License Manager main page. This step is optional, but makes it easier for SharePoint administrators to see which servers in the farm need a license key.

Icon-Warning IMPORTANT: You must have a license key for each front-end Web server where you install Suite products.
