Import License
Overview
The Import License tab is the action entry point for License Management — whenever you need to expand capacity, renew, or activate a license for the first time, this is where you do it. Simply drag in a .license file obtained through official channels, and the system will automatically validate it and tell you what will happen next.
The import flow is carefully designed to ensure you will not accidentally downgrade or overwrite an existing license: after upload the system runs a "pre-check" first; only safe results are applied directly; if the new license is older or smaller than the current one, the system pops up a confirmation dialog, and the replacement happens only after manual confirmation.
Upload Area
The center of the page is a drag-and-drop upload area that supports two upload methods:
- Click to upload: Click the dashed box area and select the license file in the file picker that appears
- Drag and drop: Drag the license file directly into the dashed box area
License files contain digital signatures and customer identifiers, and are generated by a dedicated tool specifically for your tenant. Manually edited or license files from unknown sources are not accepted — they will be rejected by the system.
Only one file can be uploaded at a time; batch upload of multiple files is not supported. During upload the upload area becomes disabled to prevent duplicate submissions.
Import Flow
After a file is uploaded, the system validates it first (it is not applied immediately), then returns the appropriate information based on the validation result. The user decides the subsequent flow.
| Validation result | Meaning | Subsequent flow | User action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apply directly | The new license is valid and better than the current license | Applied automatically; no confirmation needed | Just observe the "License applied successfully" message |
| Needs confirmation — older | The new license was issued earlier than the current license | A confirmation dialog appears | Manually click "Apply" to confirm |
| Needs confirmation — downgrade | The new license has fewer units or an earlier expiry | A confirmation dialog appears | Manually click "Apply" to confirm |
| Rejected | Invalid signature, customer identifier mismatch, expired or corrupted file | An error dialog appears | Review the rejection reason and obtain the correct file |
After clicking "Apply", the current license is replaced immediately. If the new license has a smaller capacity, some resources may exceed the capacity limit. Read the reason shown in the dialog carefully before confirming.
