You can install the Activation Server on shared hosting servers that
provide Windows IIS server with .NET Framework 4.5, and MS Access database.
And, the most important requirements are
·
Permissions for .NET DLL, code
behind, and /bin folder
·
.NET Full Trust Level
which are needed to execute a native DLL component
of the Activation Server. Under your own server, cloud server, or dedicated
hosting server, there, you basically own the server or a virtual one. However,
many hosting providers do not allow the above requirements under low-cost,
shared hosting plans due to security and other reasons. To choose a hosting
provider, we suggest that you check and ensure the above requirements first. It
would also be better to choose a provider that offers 30-day money back
guarantee and see if their support can help in process of installing the
Activation Server.
Below are some of the providers that their shared hosting plans support
the Activation Server requirements. The installation instructions on these
providers are provided, which can be used as guidelines for other providers as
well.
To install the Activation Server on other hosting providers, you can do
it via the control panel, which varies from one provider to another. Below, we
provide a general guideline for the installation focusing on the permissions
you need to set for the folders.
1. Upload all files and folders
from the following folder to your hosting server:
\ACTIVATIONSERVER\PRECOMPILEDWEB\MANAGER
2. From the control panel, set
the permissions of the following folder to allow Read & Execute/Read for
the IWAM_<machine name> user:
|
Bin\ |
3. Set the permissions of the
following folders to allow Read/Write for the IWAM_<machine name> user:
|
Database\
RKUFile\Log\ RKUFile\Source\ |
4. Set the permissions of the
following folders to allow Modify/Read/Write for the IWAM_<machine name>
user:
|
Exported\
RKUFile\Target\ |
