How do I activate Timetracker with my license key (Subscription ID)? Follow

Question

I have my Timetracker subscription ID; how do I activate it?

Answer

This article refers to 7pace Timetracker for TFS.

Timetracker can be activated with two methods - online and offline.

Online Activation

The online activation is available since Timetracker version 2.8 and requires an internet connection for the server running the Timetracker server. Support for a proxy server is available since version 2.8.1.

The online activation is the recommended way to activate Timetracker and comes with these benefits:

• On renewal, the activation continues without interruption of service
• You only need to apply the subscription ID once
• Changes to your subscription appear immediately in all your server systems

How to apply:

Please make sure to copy your Subscription ID to the page Time > Configuration > License, available from the web access of Team Foundation Server (typically, this is the URL to that page: http://[your-internal-hostname]:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection/Timetracker/_apps/hub/Berichthaus.TfsTimetrackerOnPremises.Configuration.)

You will find the subscription ID on any invoice or mail from the commerce system.  

Troubleshooting: Server not connected to the internet

In case your server cannot connect to the internet, please contact support at support@7pace.com. We will issue a file for offline activation for you.
