4.1 Gathering Certificate and License Information

Before you install NetIQ Cloud Manager, you need to have the following information available:

  • A license key (90-day evaluation license or a full license) is required to use the Cloud Manager Orchestration Server. You should have received this key from NetIQ, then you should have subsequently copied it to the network location that you identify during the pattern installation. Be sure to include the name of the license file in the path.

    If you install or configure Orchestration components by using a trial key, the product behaves normally for 90 days, although the trial key controls the number of users and managed nodes you can configure. For fully supported functionality, product components require a purchased license key. Contact your NetIQ Sales Representative or a Certified NetIQPartner for purchase information.

  • (Optional) Certificate authority information (internal, or signed certificate, private key, and public certificate).
