HCL License support scenarios for AppScan Enterprise V10.0.3 Installation and Upgrade

HCL License support scenarios for AppScan Enterprise V10.0.3 installation and upgrade.

The AppScan Enterprise 10.0.3 and later version supports only HCL License subscriptions. In the AppScan Enterprise versions 9.0.3.14 and 10.0.0/10.0.1 versions, the license support was extended to both IBM and HCL Licenses. However, upgrading these older versions to the AppScan Enterprise V10.0.3 and later, require a valid HCL License.

This section explains about various upgrade scenarios and corresponding action you may have to consider during AppScan Enterprise V10.0.3 installation or upgrade.

Note: If you are upgrading an IBM License supported (subscribed) AppScan Enterprise version to AppScan Enterprise v10.0.3 without a valid HCL License, then the installation process may not complete.
Note: In HCL Licensing, the scanners licenses are provided by AppScan Enterprise server hence the Agents need to contact the AppScan Enterprise server via HTTP. The port 9443 is configured as the default port during AppScan Enterprise Server installation and should be accessible from the Scanner machine.
