During the registration process, Grid portal will automatically activate the LiveWire. The result of the activation is a license file that is installed onto the device. With the license installed, the user will not have to perform this process manually the first time they connect using Omnipeek. Instead, the user will be able to go right to work on creating a capture and using LiveWire.

If the LiveWire is factory reset, it will lose the activation file. In this case, when the LiveWire is given an IP address and registers with Grid portal, it will be given the license file again, and become activated.
