After successful installation, the plug-in license has to be activated using PL/SQL code. The instructions describe activating the plug-in United Codes Rich Text Editor Pro in the Trial Mode.

Get a license from the portal

The license activation process requires the plug-in license API key and plug-in name. Both information can be found in the United Codes Plug-ins Pro portal.

1. Log into Plug-ins Pro Portal

2. Scroll the dashboard page to the section Free Trials

3. Click the Rich Text Editor Pro card

4. The plug-in name and the API key are presented in opened modal page. These values are required to activate the plug-in in the next steps

5. Proceed to the next step Activate license using PL/SQL code.

Activate license using PL/SQL code

Activating the plug-in license requires executing PL/SQL code in Oracle APEX SQL Workshop / SQL Commands. The plug-in can be activated using two scenarios:

1. When Oracle APEX schema has access to the internet
2. When Oracle APEX schema has no access to the internet

Schema has access to the internet

When the Oracle APEX schema in which the plug-in is installed has access to the internet, the activation process requires only executing PL/SQL code in Oracle APEX SQL Workshop.

1. Go to SQL Workshop / SQL Commands
2. Run the auto_license procedure

begin
  uc_pluginspro.auto_license(
    p_plugin  => 'PLUGIN_NAME', -- the plug-in name presented in the Plug-ins Pro dashboard modal
    p_api_key => 'YOUR_API_KEY' -- the plug-in API key presented in the Plug-ins Pro dashboard modal
  );
end;

In the result of executing the code, you should see the successful message:

Plug-ins Pro license saved for plug-in: UNITEDCODES_FROALA_RTE.

See the example screenshot below.

The plug-in has been activated and is ready to use. The successful activation can be checked in the Plug-ins Pro portal. See the screenshot below.

Schema has no access to the internet

When the Oracle APEX schema in which the plug-in is installed has no access to the internet, the activation process requires executing PL/SQL code and generating the plug-in license in the Plug-ins Pro portal.

Execute manual activation #1

1. Go to SQL Workshop / SQL Commands
2. Run the manual_license procedure

begin
  uc_pluginspro.manual_license(
    p_plugin  => 'PLUGIN_NAME', -- the plug-in name presented in the Plug-ins Pro dashboard modal
    p_api_key => 'YOUR_API_KEY' -- the plug-in API key presented in the Plug-ins Pro dashboard modal
  );
end;

You should see a message with key value. The key is needed to generate a license key in the Plug-ins Pro portal.

Copy the printed key value and proceed to the next step.

2. Execute the procedure manual_license with parameter p_license_key set to copied license key

begin
  uc_pluginspro.manual_license(
    p_plugin  => 'PLUGIN_NAME',  -- the plug-in name presented in the Plug-ins Pro Portal
    p_api_key => 'YOUR_API_KEY', -- the plug-in API key presented in the Plug-ins Pro Portal
    p_license_key => 'GENERATED_LICENSE_KEY' -- license key copied from Plug-ins Pro Portal
  );
end;
