Registering the License Management Service product key
After completing the download packages, installation, verification, and configuration operations, you can use any supported web browser to log on to the License Management Service console.
For the first login session, you need to procure the registration key from the License Analytics Service (LAS) console and then register the product. Note that for first-time login, only one authentication domain is displayed in the drop-down list. Only users with root or admin privileges can perform the license registration operation.
Note:
Ensure that you take a backup of the registration key, a .alf file that is generated during the registration process.

- In the address field of the browser, type the following URL and press Enter.
https://hostname:14161/#/login where, host name is the fully-qualified host name which should not exceed 15 characters length.
For a IPv4 configuration, you can specify the IP address instead of the host name.
