Riverbed Cloud Services : Licensing SteelHead-c virtual appliances
  
Licensing SteelHead-c virtual appliances
Licenses for SteelHead-c virtual appliances are stored on the Riverbed Cloud Portal. Each license is associated with a one-time token unique to it. Applying a one-time token to a SteelHead-c enables the virtual appliance to contact the portal and to associate the token’s license with the SteelHead-c. To obtain a one-time token, you must have an account on the Riverbed Cloud Portal. Typically, Riverbed will establish a user account on the portal for you after you purchase a cloud product, and Riverbed will send you an email with details and login information about your account. After your account is established, you can log in and view your purchased licenses. Select a license to view details about it, including the one-time token associated with it.
Note: For virtual appliances that cannot be provisioned through the portal, the token must manually be applied to the appliance.
