Installing an application license

Installing application licenses is separate from installing applications and is necessary if you performed a Download Only installation or if an application comes pre-installed on a device. For more information, see Downloading an application. Applications without an active license display a status of Installed. All utility roles have permissions to perform this task.

1. On a Devices / Device Group page (displays details of one device group), click the Device List tab.

   Tip:  You can also install an application license from the Applications / Application page's (displays details of one application) Device List tab.

   Tip:  The information on this page automatically refreshes every 24 hours. To manually retrieve the newest information about the application, click Refresh.

2. To install an application license on all devices in the group, from the dropdown menu, select Install Application and click Perform Action.

   

   or

   To install an application license on a single device, click the icon in the row and select Install Application.

   

3. Select an application whose license you are installing from the Application dropdown menu.

   

4. Select a version of the application to install a license for from the Version dropdown menu. For Utility Managers, the only selectable application versions are those that have been approved by a Utility Tester.

5. Select a license set to use for this installation from the License Set dropdown menu. Available license sets are those that are not expired and not depleted.

6. (Optional) Modify the date and time the application license installation job starts with the Job Start Date. The default is to start immediately. Valid dates can be up to three months in the future and cannot be after the selected license set's end date.

   Tip:  Selecting a future date and time can help you schedule installations based on anticipated network usage.

7. From the Install Type dropdown menu, select Install License.

   

8. (Optional) Modify the Start Automatically toggle. The default is enabled (the application automatically starts after it completes installation on the devices). Disable the toggle to not automatically start the application after it completes installation.

   Tip:  If Start Automatically is disabled, you can start the application later. For more information, see Starting an application.

9. (Start Automatically enabled only) (Optional) Modify the date and time the application starts with the Application Start Date. The default is to start immediately after installation.

10. Click Install.

    The installation process begins, a notification displays a link to the installation job, and the status column displays progress.
