Apply License

If there are licenses available for use, select the unlicensed targets you want to license and

click Apply License. Clicking Apply License is final because it consumes (locks) the license for the selected
target, and the license cannot be un-assigned. Targets licensed with some type of time-limited key are also
shown. These can be selected but can only be relicensed using a PAID key. After all targets are licensed,
this page is not displayed again (in this sequence). If there are targets that are still not licensed or licensed
with a demo key, this page redisplays showing the original list of unlicensed targets, indicating which target
systems are now licensed and which are not. Selecting to license a target which has been licensed using a
demo key will re-license the target with a permanent key, if a key is available. If there are insufficient licenses
remaining at the time of the relicense, the demo license remains in force. When licensing, the full licenses
(including those included with the product) are used first. If there are systems which remain unlicensed after
all these licenses are consumed, any demo key not used to capacity is used if the product permits it. Finally,
as other users might be attempting to license other targets for use with the product at the same time, it is
possible to select a number of targets equal to the available licenses and yet fail to license some of those
targets. A message advises when this has occurred.

If you do not want to license any of these unlicensed targets or at any time after licensing some of

those targets, you can continue directly by clicking Next, provided at least one of the selected targets is
licensed. If no selected targets are licensed, the Next button is displayed.

Upon successful completion, the number of licenses available should increase by the number of licenses
enabled by the key. Those additional licenses are now available for use.

NOTE:

When some or all of the selected targets are licensed using a demo key, those targets appear in

the not licensed table with the status Licensed using a demo key. You can select any of these targets and
relicense with a full key at this time. Demo and evaluation keys are not accepted to relicense a system with
such a key.
