Overview of Licensing and and Product Activation |

Licenses for Bamboo products that are installed on SharePoint servers are activated in SharePoint Central Administration using the Bamboo Web License Manager. Follow these instructions to activate a Bamboo product license.
NOTE: Licenses for desktop/server applications such as List Bulk Import, User Profile Sync, and List Bulk Export are activated using a standalone version of the licensing application, called Bamboo License Manager. See Activating a Bamboo Desktop Product Using the License Manager for more information.
Before performing the steps listed below, be sure you have installed the Bamboo Web License Manager on your SharePoint farm. See Installing the Bamboo Web License Manager for more information.
