Products from Exchange.ai are authenticated using the Administration Manager provided by Spotfire. You can activate a license for individual users or a Spotfire/Windows AD group.

In order to follow these steps, you must be the Spotfire administrator or have administrative access.

  1. Retrieve the license key from the Exchange.ai Portal (you must be a Portal Admin to view license keys). You may also have received a license from your subscription representative.
  2. Open TIBCO Spotfire Desktop.
  3. Navigate to Tools > Administration Manager. Then select Preferences from the top tabs.

  4. Select a group from the left-hand side for whom you want to bestow licenses. This can match an AD group if you have integrated your Spotfire server with a LDAP user directory.
  5. From the list of preferences in the center area, open Ruths.ai > Exchange.ai. You will see a option for License Keys to the right.

  6. Click the button to expand [...] to the right of LicenseInfo[] Array.
  7. A dialog will appear called LicenseInfo Collection Editor. From here we can edit the licenses installed everywhere on the Spotfire server.

  8. To add a license, enter the full product name into the Name area and enter the license key in the License area. For example:
    If you have a subscription, you can activate all the products using the RAI Spotfire Extensions key. Now the keys are activated and you will be able to use the extensions.
