You must reactivate your Security Center
license with a new validation key every time you add, remove, or change the servers in the
Directory failover list.
Before you begin
Have your System ID and password ready.
The System ID and password are
found in the Security Center License Information document. Genetec™ Customer Service sends
you this document when you purchase the product.
What you should know
IMPORTANT: Server
Admin can only be used to activate a
single-server license. If you have a multi-Directory server configuration, both the
generation of the validation key and the application of the license key must be
performed from Config
Tool. All
Directory servers must be up and running for the license update to work.
Procedure
-
From the Config
Tool home page, open the
System task, and click the Roles view.
-
Select the Directory Manager (
) role, and click the Directory
servers tab.
-
Click Modify license for all servers.
The
License management dialog box opens.

-
In the License management dialog box, activate your license in one
of the following ways:
- Web activation
- (Recommended) Reactivate your license from the Internet.
In the dialog box that
opens, enter your System ID and Password, and click
Activate.
- Manual activation
- If your Config
Tool workstation has
no Internet access, reactivate your Security Center license
manually using a license file.
IMPORTANT: Send the composite validation key (comprising all Directory
servers); otherwise, the license reactivation fails silently and the Directory failover
does not work.
A dialog box showing your license information opens.
From the License list, you can select an option to view
what is included in your license.
-
Click Apply to close the dialog box, and click
Apply at the bottom of the Config
Tool window to save your changes.
