Applying a New License

Overview​

This article describes how to apply a new license to the Netwrix Privilege Secure for Access Management server.

Instructions​

Privilege Secure comes with a 30-day trial license. After this trial expires, a new license key file must be imported.

  1. Log in to the Privilege Secure web application as an account with the Administrator role.

    • In Privilege Secure 3.5 or earlier, you can use the built-in Admin account.

      IMPORTANT: The Domain field must be set to <none> to log in with the built-in Admin account.

    • In Privilege Secure 3.7 or later, you can use a local user with the Administrator role.

  2. Click your account name in the upper-right corner of the page, and then click About SbPAM to open the page to update the product's license.

    IMPORTANT: If you need a new license key file, contact your Netwrix Account Manager.

  3. Click Import License. A Windows file dialog opens. Go to the location of the new license key file, select it, and click Open. The license is imported, and the displayed license information is updated.

Alternate Instructions (PowerShell)​

  1. Open a PowerShell window as an administrator.

  2. Modify the following PowerShell script so that the second line contains the correct local path for your license file:

    Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Web
    $licenseFilePath = "path to license file" ## Change to match the local path to the license file
    $license = Get-Content $licenseFilePath
    $encoded = [System.Web.HttpUtility]::UrlEncode($license)
    $sbpamURI = "http://localhost:6501"
    Invoke-RestMethod -Method POST -URI "$($sbpamURI)/api/v1/LicenseInfo?License=$encoded"

  3. Copy and paste the modified script into PowerShell and execute it. Your license should now be imported into Privilege Secure.
