See Install a license on Linux Portal platform.

  1. Receive the License File

    Save the new license file on your Portal server and complete the following steps.

  2. Upload the New License

    • Navigate to Admin>Advanced>License Administration. The Portal displays your current license details.

    • Click Upload New License.

    • Browse to locate the license file on your Portal server and click OK.

  3. Verify the License Installation.

    If you have issues with license installation, try uploading the license file again to overwrite the previous one.
