Bind Master Security Engine licenses to Master Security Engine elements

You must manually bind Management Server POL-bound licenses to a specific Master Security Engine element.

Licenses are created based on the Management Server’s proof-of-license (POL) code or based on the appliance's proof-of-serial (POS) code. POS-bound appliance licenses are automatically bound to the correct Master Security Engine element when the engine is fully installed. Virtual Security Engines do not require a separate license.

Steps

  1. Select Administration.
  2. Browse to Licenses > Engines.
    All installed licenses appear in the right pane.
  3. Right-click a Management Server POL-bound license and select Bind.
    The Select License Binding dialog box opens.
  4. Select the node and click Select.
    If you made a mistake, right-click the license and select Unbind.
    CAUTION:
    When you install or refresh the policy on the engine, the license is permanently bound to that engine. Permanently bound licenses cannot be rebound to another engine without relicensing or deleting the engine element the license is bound to. Until you do that, the unbound license is shown as Retained.
