In addition to the !licenses/db folder, there is also a !licenses/inbox folder. The inbox allows “drag and drop” importing into your license database of both individual license files and “license archive” (.lar) files, which may have been “saved” or “exported” from other Workbench computers, or perhaps sent to you from the licensing server.

When you restart Workbench after copying license files and/or .lar files into your inbox subfolder, Workbench automatically creates the appropriate “host ID” named subfolders in your local license database, each containing the corresponding license file. Contents of the inbox folder are then deleted.

If you upgraded Workbench (or an Supervisor) from a release prior to AX-3.3, this inbox feature is particularly useful. Simply copy all your license files you previously stored (from whatever locations) into your Workbench computer’s !licenses/inbox folder, renaming files if necessary (to permit copying). After you restart Workbench, your local license database will be correctly structured. In addition, now you can use the “Sync Online” feature of the Workbench License Manager to ensure you have the latest version of all your licenses. See Sync Online.
