Licensing

In the Licensing section of the Management Portal you can view the details of your existing license and replace it with a new license, if desired.

To view your existing license, browse to System Settings Icon > Licensing. The currently installed license appears on the License tab. The license shows you the features that are enabled for your Keyfactor Command implementation.

For information on monitoring for license expiration, see License Expiration Monitoring and Rotation.

  6. On the Keyfactor Command server, restart the IIS services (iisreset) and refresh the browser.
Important:  If you are installing a new license because your existing license is expiring and you use the Keyfactor CAClosed A certificate authority (CA) is an entity that issues digital certificates. Within Keyfactor Command, a CA may be a Microsoft CA or a Keyfactor gateway to a cloud-based or remote CA. Policy Module, be aware that the license needs to be installed separately for the policy module (see License Expiration Monitoring and Rotation).
Tip:  Click the help icon () next to the Licensing page title to open the Keyfactor Software & Documentation Portal to this section. You will receive a prompt indicating:

You are being redirected to an external website. Would you like to proceed?

You can also find the help icon () at the top of the page next to the Log Out button. From here you can choose to open either the Keyfactor Software & Documentation Portal at the home page or the Keyfactor API Endpoint Utility.

Keyfactor provides two sets of documentation: the On-Premises Documentation Suite and the Managed Services Documentation Suite. Which documentation set is accessed is determined by the Application Settings: On-Prem Documentation setting (see Application Settings: Console Tab).
