Configuring Licenses on the Pulse Policy Secure Appliance

In this release, evaluation licenses are provided. To add more licenses, the Pulse Policy Secure administrator needs to leverage the Pulse License server.

The Pulse License server can be made available in the corporate network.

Pulse Policy Secure virtual machines (VM) are enabled to provision licenses through the Pulse Cloud Licensing Service (PCLS). For this, administrator needs to obtain an Authentication code from Pulse Secure Support and apply it in Download Licenses page of PPS admin console. The PPS also periodically sends heartbeat messages to PCLS for auditing purposes.

The Authentication code can also be specified in the CloudFormation template. When PPS comes up, it automatically fetches the Authentication code.
