Install licenses for Security Engines

Install the Security Engine licenses that you downloaded while preparing for installation.

Before you begin

The license files must be available to the computer that you use to run the SMC Client.

You can install all licenses at the same time even though you have not yet created all elements that the licenses are bound to.

For more details about the product and how to configure features, click Help or press F1.

Steps

  1. In the SMC Client, select Settings > Install Licenses.
  2. Select one or more license files to install in the dialog box that opens and click Install.
  3. To check that the licenses were installed correctly, select Administration, then browse to Licenses > All Licenses.
    One license is shown for each Security Engine node. You must bind POL-bound licenses manually to the correct Security Engine nodes after you have configured the Security Engine elements. POS-bound licenses are automatically bound to the Security Engine nodes when you install a policy on the Security Engine after the Security Engine makes initial contact with the Management Server.

Next steps

Define the engine elements.
