Adding and Removing Licenses

As a prerequisite, you must purchase a license key from your CTERA authorized reseller, specifying your portal's DNS suffix, antivirus requirements, and the number of required CTERA Edge Filers, server agents, and workstation agent licenses. You receive one or more license keys.

Adding a License

To add a license:

1. In the global administration view, select Settings > License in the navigation pane.
   The MANAGE LICENSES page is displayed.
   
2. Click Add License Key.

3. Copy the license key you received from CTERA, and paste it into the text box.
   To add more than one key, paste each key on a new line.
   The system verifies and activates the license keys by contacting the CTERA Activation service. As each license key is activated, it is associated with this installation of CTERA Portal.
4. Optionally add a comment in the Comment field. The comment is displayed in the MANAGE LICENSES page.
