When an activation attempt is detected, QLM creates a record of that detection in the system. You can read more about activation attempts here.
This article describes 2 approaches to dealing with activation attempts:
Send yourself (the vendor) an email notification when an activation attempt is detected
Send the customer a notification when an activation attempt is detected.
Create a search
Launch the QLM Management Console
Go to the Manage Keys tab
Click the Search drop-down and select Edit searches
Create a new search as follows (the search should already exist):
Name: Alert Activation Attempt
Table: Activation Attempts
SQL: ActivationDate > [date] and ActivationDate > '2020-04-29 12:00 PM'(the hard code date here is required to avoid sending an email to all customers already in the Activation Attempts table - change to hard coded date to today's date)
Create a Scheduled Task
Launch the QLM Management Console
Go to the Manage Keys tab
Click Scheduled Tasks
Create a new scheduled task as follows:
Name: Activation Attempts Report
License Server: <your license server>
Search: Alert Activation Attempt
Run Every: 1 Day
Send Mail To: <nothing selected>
CC: <your email address>
Subject: Activation Attempts Report
Email Template: Vendor.ActivationAttemptsReport
With the setup above, you will receive a daily report of all detected activation attempts.
