Updating the Entitlements file
Using the License Management Service console, you can update the entitlements file. The Entitlements file is available on the Entitlement Management Server portal. It contains information about the entitled core units for the different InfoScale product combinations that you are entitled to use. Using the License Management Service console, you can upload the file on the host on which License Management Service is installed. Online and Offline are two options for uploading the file. Choose the Online option only if the host has access to the public internet. The file is securely retrieved from Entitlement Management Server through an API and placed in the LMS database. Choose the Offline option if the host does not have access to the public internet.
To download the entitlements file, you must have access credentials to Entitlement Management Server portal account.
