Applies to: All versions of Centrify DirectControl / DirectManage

 
Question:
 
How are new / additional Centrify license keys installed? 

 
Answer:
 
Centrify licenses are centrally managed via the DirectManage / DirectControl console - license keys are not installed with the agent software of joined workstations.
 
There are two places where license keys can be entered:
 
== Method 1:

During the installation of DirectManage / DirectControl the wizard:

User-added image
 

 
== Method 2:

If the DirectManage / DirectControl console has already been installed, licenses can be accessed by right-clicking on the main DirectManage / DirectControl node under the Console Root and selecting "Manage Licenses...".

The option to enter or update licenses will be in the Update tab:

Note:
If the option to Add a license is greyed out, then the current logged in user does not have permission to add licenses.
Make sure to login with a user who has sufficient privileges.
