You have exceeded the maximum number of activations allowed per system.

QLM can limit the number of activations on a given system. This is enforced with the following Server Properties:

• maxActivationsPerSystem
• maxActivationsEnforcedOnVMsOnly

The message "You have exceeded the maximum number of activations allowed per system" indicates that the limit configured in maxActivationsPerSystem was reached.

Once maxActivationsPerSystem  has been reached, you have 2 options to allow a specific client to activate:

1. Increase the value of the server property maxActivationsPerSystem. Note that this is a global setting that affects all customers.
2. Decrease the ActivationCount of the specific customer.
