Generating license keys (for virtual and cloud appliances)
When you purchase a NetProfiler, your purchase confirmation email includes a license request token. The NetProfiler uses this token to generate a license activation code, which you use to obtain license keys from the Riverbed licensing portal.
When you enter the license activation code on the Riverbed licensing portal, the portal generates a license key for each license you have purchased. You copy these keys and enter them on the NetProfiler licensing page to activate the licenses features.
Follow these steps:
-
Navigate to the Administration > Licenses page.
-
Paste or enter your license activation token in the License Request section and click Submit. The NetProfiler generates a license activation code and displays it in a popup window.
-
Copy the activation code.
-
Go to the Riverbed licensing portal at https://licensing.riverbed.com.
-
Paste or enter your activation code and click Submit. The licensing portal activates all the licenses that you purchased on the order for which you received the token.
-
Copy the license keys from the list on the licensing portal.
-
On the NetProfiler Licenses page, click Add license(s) in the Licenses section. This opens a popup window for entering the license keys.
-
Enter the license keys as a comma-separated list and click OK. The NetProfiler activates the licenses and displays them in a list. Note that your web user interface session may be terminated when the new licenses are activated.
