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
-
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 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.
From the License drop-down list, you can select an option to view what is included in your license.
