Enable Centralised Licensing

  • 1.  Enable Centralised Licensing

    Posted May 21, 2014 05:56 AM

    Just wanted to clarify;

     

    Two Controllers running 6.3.1.6. 

     

    Setup is Master/Standby via VRRP.

     

    All I need to do is enter my VRRP address into the License Server IP field and tick the enable box and save. All done on the Master controller.

     

    I assume this will not be service disruptive?

    Yes, and then point your local controllers to the VRRP address under the
    central licensing configuration.

    Thank you :)

     

    FYI we're not running any local controllers. just the two, master and standby/master

    Hmm seems you need to enable the function on the standby controller also.

     

    Looks all ok however the VRRP address wont take in the License Server IP field. I assume in this config then it isnt needed as the standby will just take them anyway should it become the Master?

     

    The VRRP address is 192.168.64.250 FYI

     

    See screenies attached.

    Sorry, I misread your question. Central licensing needs to be enabled on each controller. 

     

    On the master and master/backup, simply check the enable central licensing and license redundancy checkbox. If you are already using master redundancy, you don't need to configure the VRRP info.

     

    Leave the license server IP blank.
