License Locking

 

Once you activate the license using a specific Deployment ID, that ID is locked to the machine (either an Enterprise Manager or Standalone Appliance). If you try to activate a license on another machine using an already locked ID, activation will fail. You must first Deactivate the License File on the original machine. For example, if you activated the license on a Standalone Appliance, and then later want to add that Appliance to a newly deployed Enterprise Manager (without an activated license), perform the following:

  1. Deactivate the license file on the Standalone Appliance.
  2. Add the Appliance to the Enterprise Manager.
  3. Activate a New License File on the Enterprise Manager. If you clone or copy a Forescout virtual machine, the cloned/copied machine will have an invalid license. To set up this Enterprise Manager as a new deployment with a valid license:
  4. Verify that you have a valid license entitlement with sufficient endpoint capacity.
  5. Add a New Deployment in the Customer Support Portal.
  6. Activate a New License File in the Console.
