Identity Manager Activation

Identity Manager needs to be activated to be able to use it for more then 90 days. Default the drivers and the product works for 90 days and then stops. To prevent this you need to activate it, which counts for the bundle edition as for the full edition. In this small howto we activate Identity Manager bundle edition with a ZENworks 7 license. Though getting the activation code differs from the full product, the activation it self is the same for both products.
