View Instance Details

The Instance Details page displays all of the same information shown on the summary page, and it includes
information about the ACE instance's policy settings.
You can reactivate, deactivate, or change the expiration date from the Instance Details page, as you can from
the summary page. The following tasks are available only from the Instance Details page:

Changing the copy protection ID

Resetting the authentication password

Adding information for custom columns
To view instance details
1 Select the instance by clicking its instance row.
2 Click the View detail icon at the top of the table or double‐click the instance row.
3 If you use the VMware ACE Help Desk, to view details about network access, click the links under Zone,
Host Access, or Guest Access.
You can view the Zones or Rules Detail page for this zone or this type of network access.
The Everywhere and Everywhere else zone settings are not linked to a Zones Detail page because they
are self‐explanatory.

Reactivate, Deactivate, or Delete an ACE Instance

You can immediately deny or allow access to an instance by deactivating or reactivating it. After you
deactivate an instance, you can delete it from the list of instances that the server manages.
Before you begin, do one of the following:

Log in to the VMware ACE Help Desk for an ACE Management Server.

Connect to an ACE Management Server from the Workstation window.
To reactivate, deactivate, or delete an ACE instance
1 Select the instance by clicking its instance row.
2 Click the Deactivate or Reactivate icon in the upper‐left corner of the Instances page.
3 If you clicked Reactivate, when prompted, reset the expiration dates.
4 (Optional) If you clicked Deactivate, click Delete to delete the instance row.
5 Click OK.

Change a Copy Protection ID

If an end user attempts to copy or move a copy‐protected ACE instance, the user receives an error message
that contains a new copy protection ID. After the end user sends that ID to you, the administrator, you can use
it to replace the original ID.
Before you begin, do one of the following:

Log in to the VMware ACE Help Desk for an ACE Management Server.

Connect to an ACE Management Server from the Workstation window.
The Copy Protection ID field is always active, so you can change the ID at any time.
C If you change a copy protection ID for an active instance, the original instance no longer runs.
