Adding New Licenses to the Licenses & Contracts Repository

To install a license, you must first add it to the Licenses & Contracts Repository.

You can add any license that you receive from the User Center to the Licenses & Contracts Repository.

Notes:

Unattached Central licenses appear in the Licenses & Contracts Repository.
When you add the Local license to the Licenses & Contracts Repository, the Management Server attaches it to the Security Gateway with the IP address, for which the license was issued.
All licenses are assigned a default name in the format SKU@<Time Date>, which you can modify later.
