2.3 Adding a License Key

You can add a license key when installing Change Guardian. This section provides information about adding the license key after the Change Guardian installation.

If you are using the trial license key, you must add the enterprise license key before the temporary key expires to avoid any interruption in the Change Guardian functionality. For information about how to purchase the license, see the Change Guardian Product Web site.

You can add a license key either by using the Change Guardian Main interface or through the command line.

2.3.1 Adding a License Key By Using the Change Guardian Main Interface

  1. From Change Guardian main, click About > Licenses.

  2. In the Licenses section, click Add License.

  3. Specify the license key in the Key field. After you specify the license, the following information is displayed in the Preview section:

    Features: The features that are available with the license.

    Hostname: This field is for internal Novell use only.

    Serial: This field is for internal Novell use only.

    EPS: Event rate built into the license key. Beyond this rate, Change Guardian generates warnings but will continue to collect data.

    Expires: Expiry date of the license. You must specify a valid license key before the expiry date to prevent an interruption in functionality.

  4. Click Save.
