Install licenses for SMC servers

Install the SMC server licenses that you downloaded while preparing for installation.

The SMC servers require licenses to become operational. If you do not have a valid Management Server license, a message appears when you log on. If the message appears after licensing, make sure that the license binding details are correct.

  • If you use IP address binding, make sure that the IP addresses are correct and active on the server when the Management Server service starts.
  • If you use licenses bound to the unique installation identifier (UIID) for the SMC, make sure that the UIID that you used to generate the license matches the UIID shown in the properties of the SMC server element.
