"Deep Freeze pending activation" is a status indicating that a Faronics Deep Freeze workstation has a license key assigned but has not yet completed the authentication process with the Faronics License Activation Server. Understanding Activation Status
To move a workstation from "Pending Activation (New)" to "Activated," follow these steps in the Deep Freeze Enterprise Console:
Network Connectivity: The workstation must be able to reach the internet (or the Enterprise Console must be able to reach Faronics) to complete the process.
Manual Online Activation: In the Enterprise Console, navigate to Tools > Licensing and click Activate Now to force immediate communication with Faronics.
