During the agent installation procedure, you may have saved a file with host information that NetIQ uses to generate licenses for your Unix or Linux hosts. If you did not save this file during the installation procedure, or if you would like to re-create the file, you can do this by following these steps:

  1. Select Licenses | Get Info for License.

  2. The Manage Agents utility will contact the hosts in the Current Hosts list and display the License Information dialog box.

  3. The License Information dialog box allows you to save host information for some or all of the hosts that appear in the list by clicking Save Selected or Save All. The easiest way to manage license files is to select Save All, and then use the Save dialog box to save the file in a convenient location. This will save host information for all the hosts in a single file that you send to your Sales Representative.

  4. Your Sales Representative will return a single license file that includes licenses for all your hosts. This eliminates any confusion regarding which license file corresponds with which host, because all of the licenses for all of the hosts will be contained in a single file that you push to all hosts.
