Installing the Portal License

The CTERA Portal includes a trial license for 30 days. This license includes some features that might not be supported in your implementation and excludes other features that you might require. CTERA recommends that you immediately install a permanent license that covers your requirements.

Install the permanent license using the following procedure.

To install a license:

1. In the CTERA Portal Administrator Login page, sign in as a global administrator.
   The Main > Dashboard page for the portal team administrator is displayed.
2. Click the view drop-down and select the Administration view.
   
3. In the global administration view, select Settings > License in the navigation pane.
   The License page is displayed.
   
   Note

   The Status column displays the number of days until the free trial period expires.

4. Click Add License Key.
   The Add License Keys page is displayed.
   
5. Copy the license key you received from CTERA, and paste it into the text box.
6. Optionally add a comment In the Comment field.
   You can use this comment to document the purchase order number associated with the license, and the like. The comment is displayed after savingthe license, when you click on the license.
7. Click Save.

The system verifies and activates the license key by contacting the CTERA Activation service. When the license key is activated, it is associated with this installation of CTERA Portal.

The License page displays what is included with CTERA Primary Data Services. Separate licenses are required for some features after the trial license expires, for example for global file locking, Varonis integration, and the Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP).
