Generating the license file

You must create deployments to manage your entitlements. Each deployment generates a license file that must be copied to the license folder after the LLS is installed.

Before you begin

Ensure that you have generated the fingerprint. See Generating fingerprint.

Procedure

  1. Create a deployment and allocate license to it.
    1. Log in to MHS.
    2. Go to the Deployments page.
      The Deployment page is blank at the initial login and displays only the Add Deployment card.
    3. Create a deployment by clicking on the Add Deployment card.
    4. Type a name for the deployment, select a deployment type, and click Add Deployment.
      A list of all license entitlements that you have purchased is displayed.
    5. Enter the number of licenses you want to allocate to the deployment.
      The availability of the licenses changes when you modify license allocation.
    6. Save all changes when done.
      A new card for the deployment is added and available from the Deployment page.
    The Deployment page lists all deployments that you have added in the card form. Each card has an options button that allows you to manage your deployments.
  2. Activate LLS and download the license file.
    1. Click on the options button of the deployment you created in the previous step.
    2. Select Activate License Server.
      The Activate License Server window is displayed.
    3. Select Local as the license server type to set up the LLS.
    4. Click Activate License Server.
    5. Enter the fingerprint you generated.
    6. Click Save and Download to download the license file to your device.
