SteelCentral™ Enterprise NetProfiler Appliance Installation Guide
Preparing the Installation
Licensing strategy
3.
Sends the serial number for each appliance, along with the appliance location on the network, to the network
manager.
Then the network manager:
1.
Logs in to the Riverbed licensing web site.
2.
Enters the product serial number of the first SteelCentral product to gain access to the licensing page. The Riverbed
licensing page lists the serial numbers of all SteelCentral products that were included in the same purchase order.
3.
For each serial number, activates the licenses that apply to that serial number.
Using the Riverbed licensing web site is described in
Chapter 7, “Configuring License Keys.”
After the licenses have been activated on the Riverbed licensing web site, the license keys can be added to the
NetProfiler either automatically or manually.
If only one appliance is being installed, or if all the appliances are to be licensed for the same features and capacities,
the licensing web site handles this automatically. The appliances can automatically download their licenses without
your needing to visit the licensing web site.
