Activation History
This window contains a list of all the activations for the client. Click on an item in the list to view the activation report. If an operator account has been given the Edit Completed Activations Security Right, and the selected activation has been marked as completed, they will be able to change Response Notes, Activation Reasons, and Billing details.
