Secure Remote New License Addition
Secure Remote New License Addition
Contents Glossary Index Troubleshooting
Remote license addition method allows you to add new license(s) in the end
user token present in the field.
Note: A license (template) is considered to be new if its License ID is distinct from
the license IDs of licenses available in the end user token.
A license (template) is considered to be existing if its license ID matches the
license ID of any of the licenses available in the end user token.
The following table explains the scenarios in which the remote license addition
process is useful.

token remotely.

Token with

license(s)
The end user token has license L1 bound to
application A1, and now you want to send a
new license L2 bound to application A2.
The end user token has license L1 with features
F1, and F2, and you want to add another
feature say F3 in the same license L1, present in
the token.
This is achieved by first deleting all the existing
licenses from the token and then adding the
modified L1 as the new license.
Note: Do make sure to delete all licenses if
you are adding the same license with a
new feature. Otherwise, license loading
fails displaying the message, “License
already exists”.
