• Description — User-defined description to identify the generated activation key.
• Usage Limit — The maximum number of registered systems that can be registered to the
activation key at any one time. Leave blank for unlimited use. Deleting a system profile reduces
the usage count by one and registering a system profile with the key increases the usage count
by one.
• Base Channel — The primary channel for the key. Selecting nothing will enable you to select
from all child channels, although systems can be subscribed to only those that are applicable.
• Add-on Entitlements — The supplemental entitlements for the key, which includes Monitoring,
Provisioning, Virtualization, and Virtualization Platform. All systems will be given these
entitlements with the key.
• Universal default — Whether or not this key should be considered the primary activation key for
your organization.
