Activating service licenses on GMS-managed appliances
Resolution
Overview
Service licenses such as Client Anti-Virus, IPS, Gateway Anti-Spyware, etc can be activated on GMS-managed appliances from within the GMS UI. Follow the steps below to add the license key to GMS, then activate the service on the appliance.
Resolution or Workaround
There are 2 ways to activate a service on a GMS managed appliance:
1. Add the license key/s to GMS, then activate the service on a managed appliance.
At Console > Licenses > Activation Codes, enter the activation code under ‘Add Activation Codes (Manual)’. Several activation codes can be added by using the ‘Add Activation Codes (File based)’ option. Simply create a text file which contains the activation codes (1 code per line), then use the ‘Add Activation Codes (File based)’ option:
Once the activation codes have been added to GMS, you will see them at Console > Licenses > Activation Codes:
To activate the service on a managed appliance, highlight that appliance and browse to Policies > Register/Upgrades > Service Licenses. Select the service from the drop-down menu. If a valid activation code for that service has been added to GMS, it will be displayed under ‘Available Activation Codes’. To activate the service on the appliance, click the ‘Subscribe’ option:
2. Activate the license key directly on the managed appliance.
Highlight that appliance on which you want to activate the service, and browse to Policies > Register/Upgrades > Service Licenses. Enter the activation code in the ‘Activation Code(s)’ field and click ‘Subscribe’:
