•Installing licenses on a Standalone Gateway

•Configuring the ICS VM as a License Client

•Configuring the PCS VM as a License Client

Installing License on a Standalone Gateway

An admin obtains an authentication code for his entitlement externally via e-mail. The admin must enter the authentication code in the license server download page to validate and fetch license keys. If validation is successful, the admin receives the license keys in return.

To obtain license keys:

1.Go to System > Configuration > Download Licenses.

2.Under On demand license downloads, enter the authentication code in the text box.

3.Click on Download and Install.

4.Now, go to the License Summary tab to view a list of licenses installed.

5.To delete one or more licenses, select the corresponding check box(es) and click Delete.

Configuring ICS VM as a License Client

You can configure an ICS VM as a license client. As a prerequisite, you need PCS 9.1R13.1 License Server

To configure an ICS VM as a license client:

1.In the admin console of the license server, choose System > Configuration > Licensing > Configure Clients.

2.Click New Client.

3.Enter the Client ID. The ID is defined on the client Gateway under System > Configuration > Licensing > Configure Server.

4.Enter the client password and confirm it. The password is defined on the client Gateway under System > Configuration > Licensing > Configure Server.

5.(optional) Enter the client configuration Expiration date.

6.Select the client’s platform as ISA Virtual Platform.

7.Select the product type to be configured to PCS.

8.For each feature you want to lease to this client, enter:

•Reserved Count— the number of licenses to reserve for this client. The reserve count must be less than the available amount displayed.

•Incremental Count— the incremental number of licenses to grant when the client requests more licenses. If the number of licenses on the client plus this incremental value is greater than the maximum count, no additional licenses are granted.

•Maximum Count— the maximum number of licenses a client can receive for this feature. This value must be equal to or greater than the reserved count.

Available counts are updated as you configure the client.
