Settings: License Management

In the License Management section in Webconf you can manage the license of the appliance.

Log in to the Next Generation Hardware Appliance.
Open the Settings page.
In the section License Management click Upload License to open the file browser.
Select the license and upload it.
The Uploaded New License with all important information is displayed on an overlay window.
Click Use New License to continue.
The uploaded license now appears in the License Management section.
The installed license is displayed with the most important information:

Installed License
Product Name
Product Version
License ID
Customer Name
Issued Date
Expiration Date

Below the information list another table displays: The Feature and its Status / In Use.
To determine the time of the last automatic license check, move the mouse pointer over the Status / In Use area and a tool tip will show how long ago the last check took place.

A 12-hour control interval checks the validity of the uploaded licenses. If a license loses its validity due to reaching the maximum number of permitted certificates or due to expiry, a warning appears in the License Management section.
Furthermore, a banner with the warning: LICENSE NO LONGER VALID appears at the top and bottom of all pages in Webconf.

The button Upload New License is also located here.
Uploading an expired license or the same license twice is prevented by the system in advance.

Contact support@keyfactor.com to renew the invalid license.

Only one license can be active at a time. If another license is uploaded, the Uploaded New License is compared to the Currently Installed License.

The decision is confirmed with Use New License or Cancel and the process is completed.
