Licensing Equalizer
You must register and license your Equalizer before performing any other configuration using the Equalizer
Administration Interface (described in Chapter 3, “Using the Administration Interface”). The License Manager helps
you register and request a license, as well as view your current license information.
You’ll need to request a license if:
• The left frame of the Equalizer Administrative Interface displays an unlicensed system error.
• You’ve purchased the Envoy Geographic Clustering product after previously licensing Equalizer.
• You want to upgrade to a new release that requires a new license.
You can register and license your Equalizer either online using Coyote Point’s Licensing Server, or offline using a
license file obtained from Coyote Point Support via email.
Requesting a License Online
To request a license using this method, Equalizer needs to be able to connect to the internet on port 127.
You
may need to work with your local network administrator to ensure that Equalizer can connect to the license server
through any firewalls or other network devices on your network. If this is not possible, you can use the offline
method (see “Requesting a License Offline” on page 84).
Follow this procedure to obtain a license directly from the Coyote Point License Server:
1. Log into the Administrative Interface using the default
touch
login, or another login that has
add/del
access for
global parameters to request a license;
read
access or greater to view (see “Logging In” on page 52).
2. Select the Equalizer system name in the left frame and open the
Maintenance > License Information
tab in the
right frame. The following screen is displayed:.
