Figure 78.   Update Licenses

To access this view, expand Config > Drivers > NiagaraNetwork and click .ProvisioningNwExt. To open the job steps window, click and double-click Update Licences or select Update Licences and click OK. The Update Licences window opens. Select Restart Station(s) after license update and click OK.

This adds the job step component in the top pane (Provisioning steps to run) of the Niagara Network Job Builder or the Niagara Network Prototype View. This is the only step you can add as an initial step. When processed, the Supervisor gathers information about the licenses installed in each target host. Then, using a single message, it accesses the license server to determine if the licenses are up-to-date. If it finds updated licenses in the server, the system installs the license in each host, and updates the Supervisor’s local license database.

If the Supervisor is not configured for Internet connectivity, the component uses only its local license database to compare against licenses installed on the target host(s). If it finds an updated license, the system installs the license in each host.
