After a certificate is added to your account, you can request licenses from it at any time. You can obtain one license for a single product, all licenses for all purchased products, or any number in between. The following process allows you to obtain one or many licenses in a single session. For more information on the steps, see the KSM online help.

Requesting one or more licenses

Follow these steps:

  3. On the KSM main menu, click Request New Licenses
  4. Assign the software to the host that will run it: 
    1. In the My Products table, locate and select the product(s) for a specific host, and specify a quantity if required.
    2. Click Assign Products to Host. In the new window, enter the host ID, then click Save Host ID.

    3. Repeat this process for each additional host. 
  5. Click License Preview to confirm that your products are assigned to the correct hosts. If any are incorrect, change the product/host assignments before you generate the licenses.
