4.2 Adding a License Key

You must add licenses for both the Change Guardian server and the applications or modules that you plan to monitor. For more information about licenses, see Understanding Licensing.

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.

4.2.1 Adding License for Server

You can use the UI or the command-line to add a Change Guardian server license key.

Adding from the Administration Console

To add a license key by using the Administration Console, follow the steps below.

To add a license key:

  1. From Administration Console, 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.

      NOTE:If the license expired, you can add the license key by using only the command line.
