Upon generating a new license, the Registration Confirmation is emailed to the individual generating the license, and contains a copy of the license file (CPLicenseFile.lic), as well as Command Line instructions (cplic put command).

Both the license file and CLI instructions can be obtained through the License Generation Confirmation screen by selecting 'Get License' and/or 'Show License Info', respectively.
