Avaya products use WebLM Release 8.0 or later to manage product licenses obtained through PLDS. For CMS licensing, use either a standalone WebLM server or install the WebLM server on a coresident Avaya Aura® System Manager. Licenses installed for WebLM must support SHA256 digital signatures and a 14-character host ID.
Important:
Use Centralized licensing for CMS. Enterprise licensing is not supported. This means that multiple CMS deployments cannot share one license file. After enabling Centralized licensing, you must assign every license file to the license ID in WebLM.
For more information about installing license files, see the following documents:
  • Administering Avaya Aura® System Manager
  • Administering standalone Avaya WebLM
Before you begin
Ensure that the XML license file is present in the computer.
Use the uninstall functionality of WebLM to remove any existing license file from the WebLM server before you install a new license file. The system displays an error message if an older license file is still available. For a centralized license file, the system automatically overwrites the older license file during installation. If you experience problems while installing the license file, see the information about license file installation errors in Administering standalone Avaya WebLM.
  1. Log in to the standalone WebLM web console or the System Manager console with administrator privilege credentials.
  2. In the navigation pane, click Install license.
  3. On the Install license page, click Choose File and browse to the directory of the XML license file that you saved on your computer.
  4. Read the terms and conditions and click Accept the License Terms & Conditions.
  5. Click Install.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    WebLM displays a message on successful installation of the license file. The installation of the license file might fail for various reasons. For example, the digital signature on the license file is invalid. If you get such an error, request PLDS to redeliver the license file. An error can also occur if the current capacity use exceeds the capacity in the installed license.
  6. Enable Centralized licensing as described in WebLM documentation.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    With Centralized licensing, you must assign every license file to the license ID in WebLM.
  7. Click New.
  8. Enter a name to assign to the CMS.
  9. Select the license file to associate with the CMS.
