Activate a suite license

Tip In a testing environment, you can skip this step and use a 60-day trial license for the suite. The trial license is used automatically if you do not install a perpetual license.

The suite license contains keys for the ITOM Container Deployment Foundation as well as all capabilities of the suite. Therefore, the suite license is the only license you need to install the suite.

To activate a license for the suite, perform the following steps:

Closed1 — Activate a suite license
  1. Go to the HPE Software Entitlement Portal.
  2. Obtain an Operations Bridge Suite license.

  3. Activate the license. Enter any valid IP address in the Locking Information field — this must not be the IP address of your master or worker nodes.

  4. Download the license file to your local drive.
Closed2 — Install the suite license

To install the suite license on the Container Deployment Foundation, do the following:

  1. Launch the Management Portal from a supported web browser:

    https://<external_access_host>:5443

    <external_access_host> is the fully qualified domain name of the host which you specified as EXTERNAL_ACCESS_HOST in the install.properties file during the Container Deployment Foundation installation. Usually, this is the master node's FQDN.

  2. Log in as the admin user.
  3. Click SUITE > Management. For your suite deployment, click Actions and select License.
  4. Click Install Licenses.

  5. Click Choose File to browse to the license file on your local drive, then click Next.

    The license details are displayed.

  6. Select all listed licenses and click Install Licenses.
  7. Optional. When the installation is complete, click View Licenses to view the installed licenses.
