An NFM-P license file is digitally signed. If you rename or modify the license XML file, the NFM-P rejects the license.

Do not rename or modify the XML file inside a compressed license file.

To verify the contents of an NFM-P license file, for example, if you are unsure which file contains a specific license option or number of license points:

Note: A license file does not include an object that has a licensed quantity of zero.

1. Uncompress the license zip file.

3. Close the file.
