The activation of authenticators compliant with the multi-device licensing (MDL) model, as initiated by an OneSpan Authentication Server administrator, consists of the following administrative operations:
- Generate activation message (see Generate activation message operation)
- Add device (see Add device operation)
- Test signature with Secure Channel (see Test signature with Secure Channel operation)
Once an authenticator instance has been activated for a specific authenticator device, that authenticator instance can be deactivated with the Deactivate operation (see Deactivate operation).
