How to add CCS licenses when that Application Server service will not start:

1. Log in as the CCS Service Account or a user that has the CCS Administrator role.
2. Run the <install directory>\Symantec\CCS\Reporting and Analytics\Directory Support Service\Symantec.CSM.LicenseUtil.exe utility on the Application Server.
3. Select the 'Add Licenses' button.
4. Browse to the CCS licenses (unzip the license file before selecting the license)
5. Select the new license .slf file(s) (you can select multiple .slf files or add them just one at a time).
6. After the license(s) are added, the Status should reflect that the license(s) have been added successfully.
7. Start the Application Server Services (and any other CCS services that are not started)
