How to enable the maintenance plan on activation only
When you enable the Maintenance Plan option while creating a new Activation Key, QLM will by default set the expiry date of the Maintenance Plan to: Current date + Duration of the Maintenance Plan.
The duration of a maintenance plan can be configured by setting the Server Property options/maintenancePlanPeriodInDays.
In some use cases, such as creating keys in bulk to provide to a 3rd party, you may want to delay the start date of the maintenance plan until the customer activates the license. This can be achieved as follows:
Launch the QLM Management Console
Go to the Manage Keys tab
Click Create Activation Key
Select the product and any required option
Enable the Maintenance Plan
Go to the Advanced tab
Set the Order Status dropdown to "EInProgress"
Click Ok
A new Activation Key will be created but the maintenance plan will not be set.
Upon activation, the maintenance plan will be set to: Activation Date + Duration of the Maintenance Plan
