You must reactivate your Security
Center
license with a new validation key, every time you add or remove servers from the list of
Directory servers.
Before you begin
To update your license, you need the following:
- System ID and password
- The System ID and password are found in the Security
Center License
Information document. Genetecâ„¢ 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 running to update the license from Config
Tool.
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.
-
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
appears, 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.

Click the
colored tabs to view your license options.
-
Click Apply to close the dialog box, and click
Apply at the bottom of the Config
Tool window to save your changes.
