Import File

The Import File button in the Workbench License Manager is always enabled, and produces the Import License dialog for you to navigate to a source file (.license or .lar), as shown in Figure A.3. Note only these two types of files appear for selection.

Select a license file and click OK to add to (or update in) your local license database. A popup dialog (Figure A.4) informs you of success, and the license(s) are added or updated in your database.

NoteIf any of the license(s) you select to import are older than the ones currently in your local database, meaning that the “generated” attribute timestamp is earlier, newer license(s) in your local license database are not overwritten. However, the same “Import successful” message popup appears for such file import operations.
