Retrieving Licenses Using the Riverbed Licensing Portal
You can retrieve and manage Riverbed licenses using the Riverbed Licensing Portal. The Riverbed
Licensing Portal simplifies license management by providing an automated way to fetch and activate
licenses for Riverbed products.
The licensing portal requires a unique product identifier to retrieve a license. Depending on the product,
the identifier can be a serial number, a license request key (activation code), or a token. The steps to retrieve
a license vary based on the product identifier. Online instructions guide you through the process.
