Preparing the Supervisor’s license database

Before provisioning licenses in multiple remote hosts, the database of controller licenses in the Supervisor PC must be updated.

You are working in Workbench connected to a Supervisor PC. All licenses for to be provisioned are available: you have downloaded licenses from the license server, received them in an email attachment or exported license archive files (.lar files) from another PC.
  1. Using Windows Explorer, locate the !security/licenses/inbox folder on your Supervisor PC.
    This folder provides a single location from which to update the Supervisor’s license database.
  2. Copy or drag the individual remote licenses or license archives (.lar files) into this folder.
  3. Close and restart Workbench.
    Workbench automatically creates the appropriate host-ID-named subfolders in your local license database, each with the appropriate license file(s). Then it deletes the contents of the inbox folder.

    Now you can use the synchronize online feature of the Supervisor License Manager to ensure you have the latest version of all your licenses.
