Understanding licensing

[yogi_ccse]

Hi,

1. Is there any document on CP site (I tried searching but didn;t get) which explains in detail about licensing.

2. I am aware of central and local licensing. Do we require Smartcenter server to ahve public IP when using central licensing?

3. how licensing is done in P-1, does each CMA has its own licesne?

Pl revert.
Thx

1) License Guide

2) "Central licensing stores all licenses in a license repository on the
SmartCenter Server. Licenses are installed to the machine they are
assigned to via SmartUpdate. Licenses are not tied to the IP address of the system they are installed on, and can be reassigned to resources as necessary."

There is no need to generate new licenses when Security Gateway IP addresses change. There is no need to use public IP for a SC. Using private IP for SC is a common situation.

3) You need one license for mds and license for each cma.

Please note that, much to my dismay, the Licensing Guide is a reseller-only resource and not to be distributed to end-users.

No I don't know why, and Yes I have asked.

See above, it is only available to resellers. Redistribution to end-users is prohibited.

An administrator of the UC that the licenses are in will need to move them to your account.
