16.3 Managing your Novell ZENworks Network Access Control License

Novell ZENworks Network Access Control is licensed on a concurrent-IP basis. If the number of licensed IP addresses is at the maximum, an endpoint trying to connect is not scanned, and is denied/granted access based on the policy for untestable endpoints. A notification that the endpoint limit has been exceeded appears in the interface, and the administrator receives an email (if notifications are enabled).

16.3.1 Entering a New License Key

Novell distributes license keys as text files. Due to the license key’s length, copy and paste the license key directly out of the text file.

To enter a new license key:

Home window>>System Configuration>>License

  1. Open the text file containing the license key. Copy the key, including the double equal signs (==).

  2. Paste the license key into the New license key field.

  3. Click Submit now. The license key is validated, and it appears in the registered license key field.

HINT:Endpoints connecting when the license limit is exceeded are allowed or denied based on the setting for untestable endpoints.

HINT:If the license key information (such as an expired notice) does not update, clear the browser cache and refresh the page.
