Got the licence key through email but at the ignition configuration page. The web page request to search for licence.ipl. How to key in the CD key for the licence?

In the Licensing section of the gateway you need to click on the link that says "Purchase or activate this Ignition Gateway", then choose the Activate option. You will then be prompted to enter in the License key that you received in the email. Hope this helps.
