Scheduling auto update for License meter file
The License meter file is updated on Arctera Services and Operations Readiness Tools (SORT) website when new processors are released or every 6 months. Updating the file regularly is recommended to ensure that the information about the host CPUs, such as the core-coefficient value, is updated. Using the License Management Service console, you can schedule an auto update for every month, every quarter or 3 months or once every 6 months. You can set a date and a start time to ease the process. Ensure that the host has access to public internet.

- On the License Management Service console, do one of the following:
In the Setup panel, click Update in the License Meter card.
In the left navigation pane click License management, and then click License meter file update.
- Select Enable auto-update and click Setup schedule.
- In the Set up schedule panel, do the following:
Select a start date using the calendar.
