Reactivating the Security
Center license for
systems with Directory failover
You must reactivate your Security
Center
license with a new validation key, every time you add or remove servers from the list of
Directory servers.
Before you begin
To update your license, you need the following:
System ID and password:
The System ID and password are found in the Security
Center License
Information document. Genetec™ Customer Service sends you this
document when you purchase the product.
What you should know
IMPORTANT:Server
Admin can only be
used to activate a single-server license. If you have a multi-Directory server
configuration, both the generation of the validation key and the application of the license
key must be performed from Config
Tool. All
Directory servers must be running to update the license from Config
Tool.
To activate the Security
Center license
for a multiple Directory server system:
From the Config
Tool home page, open the
System task, and click the Roles view.
Select the Directory Manager () role, and click the Directory
servers tab.
Click Modify license for all servers.
The License management dialog box opens.
In the License management dialog box, activate your license in
one of the following ways:
Web activation:
(Recommended) Reactivate your license from the Internet.
In the dialog box that
appears, enter your System ID and Password, and click
Activate.
IMPORTANT: Send the composite validation key (comprising all Directory
servers); otherwise, the license reactivation fails silently and the Directory failover
does not work.
A dialog box showing your license information opens.
From the License
drop-down list, you can select an option to view what is included in your
license.
Click Apply to close the dialog box, and click
Apply at the bottom of the Config
Tool window to save your changes.
