How to upgrade or change the Client Security or Server Security to the Premium version?

Issue:

We currently have Client Security and / or Server Security installed with a standard license keycode. We have bought a Premium subscription, how can we migrate, upgrade or change the standard license keycode to a premium keycode on the devices? 

Resolution:

Client Security and Server Security clients that have been installed with a standard license keycode can be upgraded to the new premium license keycode with the upgrade feature on the Policy Manager Console's Installation tab.

Follow these steps:

  1. Log in to the Policy Manager Console
  2. Select a host or policy domain from the domain tree
  3. Go to the Installation tab
  4. In the Installed products summary table, click upgrade for the product you want to upgrade to premium
  5. Select the .jar file and click OK
  6. In the installation / upgrade wizard, enter you new premium license keycode
  7. On the Configure communication with Policy Manager Server step, make sure you select the same host identification method that was chosen during installation
