When you install Secure Configuration Manager, the setup program automatically installs a trial license key unless you specify a production license. You can upgrade your trial installation to a full production installation by changing the license key.
The trial license key allows you to monitor the locally installed Windows agent, add more Windows agents, and manage up to 999 endpoints. You can explore all features in Secure Configuration Manager for 30 days.
To determine the time remaining on a trial license, click License Status on the Tools menu in the Secure Configuration Manager console. The License Status window reports the number of licenses available for each installed product, the number of licenses in use, and the license expiration dates. To add licenses or extend your trial license, contact your NetIQ sales representative.
To upgrade your trial installation to a production environment, you must change the license key listed in the Core Services Configuration Utility > License Key tab. For more information, see Section 10.4, Customizing Core Services.
NOTE:Secure Configuration Manager supports multiple license keys.
