You add this 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.

Updating the license may include changing the license brand. When you add this step to the Niagara Network Job Builder or Niagara Network Prototype View, a window prompts you to change the brand. If you change the brand and the job step finds the new brand in the license server it deletes the old brand and installs the new brand in each host.
