License Splashscreen

The License Splashscreen is shown up for a few seconds whenever you start LEX - The LDAP Explorer without an activated license:



You can get rid of this by choosing the option Activate existing license - what you need here is your LEX license file.

You can also activate your license later in the application by choosing the option Help - Activate existing License:



In the dialog Please load the LEX License file, you can choose and load your LEX license file. Then your license is activated and you can use LEX without any limitations:
