Issue/Introduction

Hubs and probes have licenses that eventually need to be updated. This article describes the procedures for updating licenses in Infrastructure Manager (UIM)

Environment

Note

(9.2.0 and later) The above-mentioned licensing functionality is not applicable. The hub/robot-level and probe-level licensing requirements have been removed. Deploy the latest hub, robot, and distsrv versions to remove the license dependency.

If you want to continue with the older versions (prior to 9.2.0) of hub and probes that require an extension of the license, contact Support so that they can assist you in extending the license (if required). 

Resolution

ADD A HUB LICENSE

Follow these steps: 

1. In Infrastructure Manager, double-click the hub probe
2. On the General tab, click the Modify button
3. Copy the license text string into the Edit License dialog, click apply 
4. Restart the hub probe

 

ADD A PROBE LICENSE 

Follow these steps: 

1. Select the Licenses icon under the Archive Node in the Navigation Pane
2. Right-click on a white space in the right pane, select Add License from the context menu, paste the license string in the dialog, and click OK. The message License has been successfully applied appears
