Update License Key

It is necessary to install a new license key for an existing Access Analyzer installation due to the following:

  • To renew a Access Analyzer license that is due to expire
  • To grant access to additional Solutions
  • To enable Sensitive Data Discovery

In these situations it is possible to update the license file without going through the full installation process.
