Issue/Introduction

When reviewing the license configuration on a newly provisioned or reset Integrated Secure Gateway (ISG) / Symantec Security Platform (SSP) appliance, virtual application may display an empty <None> value under the Label column.

Without a designated text label, administrators cannot bind offline licenses or targeted configurations to specific virtual application instances (such as Edge SWG or Content Analysis).

 

No label is assigned to the application ID in the SSP appliance. 

ISG (config)# licensing view
auto-update:  true

ID          Label
---------   ---------
##########  <None>

 

Environment

SSP-S210, SSP-S410, and SSP-S620 Appliance

Resolution

1. Log into the ISG appliance via SSH, enter privileged configuration mode, and identify your specific application ID number:

ISG> enable
ISG# config t
ISG(config)# licensing view

2. Execute the following sequence, replacing ########## with your actual ID, and <your_custom_label> with a descriptive name (e.g., Proxy01):

ISG(config)# licensing
ISG(config-licensing)# edit id ##########
ISG(config-id-##########)# label <your_custom_label>

3. Run the local view command within the sub-mode to confirm the label successfully bound to the ID, then exit back to the operational mode:

ISG(config-id-##########)# view

Expected Output:
ID          Label
---------   ---------
##########  Proxy01

If the output is correct, exit out of configuration mode:
