Overriding Existing ELA Product Licenses
These steps are for generating and applying ELA product licenses. If you want to apply a permanent or generic temp code, see Licensing a Product.
Before You Begin
When generating product licenses using an Enterprise License Agreement, you can choose whether the new licenses should override your existing ELA licenses. You have two choices.
No: If you set "I want to override any existing ELA licenses" to No, the Enterprise License Agreement only generates licenses for products that aren't licensed by an ELA on the current Insite server.
Yes: If you set "I want to override any existing ELA licenses" to Yes, the Enterprise License Agreement generates licenses for products that aren't licensed by an ELA on the current Insite server AND replaces any product licenses generated under a different ELA.
To override your product licenses:
-
In the Navigation Pane, under Deployment Manager, click Home. If the menu is hidden, hover over the Navigation Pane to expand it.
-
Under Maintain Enterprise License, click
Show Actions for the ELA key you want to work with. -
Click Generate License.
-
On the Generate License for these Products screen, select which products you want to license.
-
Click Next.
-
On the Generate License on these Systems screen, select which systems the products should be licensed on.
NOTE: Make sure the products you've selected are installed on these systems, or they won't be licensed. -
Click Generate Licenses.
-
Review your choices on the Product Licensing screen, then set "I want to override any existing ELA licenses" to Yes.
-
Click Continue.
New product licenses will be generated using your Enterprise License Agreement. When the process completes, the Summary of New Product Licenses page displays. Review this page to confirm your products were licensed as expected, then click Done to return to the Deployment Manager home page.
