Clicking View All will display a list of all activation code in form shown below . On this page this is a filter button, useful when you have a large number of activation codes, which you can use to filter the results by substring of either/both the activation code name or the activation code itself, as shown.

Each activation code has a drop-down menu which you can use to Edit or Delete the activation code.
