EdgeCore version: 4.3.5

When you start up and log into a standalone edgeCore instance for the first time, the instance is not licensed, so you will need to either:

• upload a valid license or
• import and restore an archive that contains a valid license

How to Import and Restore an Archive with a License

To import and restore an archive with a license, take the following steps:

1. Create a full backup of your system, as this type of backup will capture the license information.
2. Log in as the administrator.
   A red banner, notifying you that the product is not licensed, and a pop-up for uploading a license are displayed.
3. Close the pop-up.
4. Click to access the Backup & Restore page.
   Alternatively, you can access it by clicking the hamburger menu > Content > Backup & Restore.
5. Click Upload in the bottom left corner.
   A pop-up for uploading archives/files is displayed.
6. Drag and drop your archive to import it.
   Alternatively, you can click +Add files.
7. Click Upload and then Close.
   Your archive is displayed on the Backup & Restore page.
8. Click on the imported archive to select it and then click Restore in the bottom right corner.
   A new page is displayed.
9. Make sure the Restore License toggle switch is enabled.
   Additionally, enable other restore options you need.
10. Click Restore Backup.
    A Restore in Progress pop-up is displayed. Once done, a confirmation message is displayed, and you will need to refresh the client.
    Note: If you choose to restore users in step 9, you will lose the current session, and after restoring the archive, you will need to log in again.

    

    Note: Currently, there is no method of merged licensing. If you import another archive that also contains a license, then this license will be applied, that is, it will overwrite the previous one.
