Chapter 3 Installing Licenses

Installing Licenses

To install licenses, the license files must be available to the computer you use to run the

Management Client.

 To install licenses

1. Select File→System Tools→Install Licenses.

2. Select one or more license files in the dialog that opens and click Install.

 To check that the licenses were installed correctly

1. Select Configuration→Configuration→Administration. The Administration Configuration

view opens.

2. Browse to Licenses→Security Engines or Licenses→IPS depending on the type of

licenses you have.

You should see one license for each IPS engine, Layer 2 Firewall engine, or Master Engine node.

If you have Management Server POL-bound engine licenses, you must bind them manually to the

correct engines once you have configured the engine elements.

Note – You can install all of the licenses even though you have not yet defined all the

elements the licenses will be bound to.
