Rapid Recovery License Portal 6.0.1


	If you own and are managing AppAssure appliances in the License Portal, you have the ability to add software groups for your AppAssure 5 or RapidRecovery Cores. When you are creating groups and you have both software and appliance licenses, you need to enure that you have selected Software Capacity (for appliances) or Software as appropriate for viewing the proper license(s) in the proper group(s). License keys for AppAssure appliances and software are different and are not interchangeable; therefore, if you want to use AppAssure 5 or RapidRecovery Core software (for replicating appliance agent snapshots to a core, for example), you need to create a new software group for that Core. (You will need the license key to download and activate the Core.)


	NOTE: Only users with administrative rights can add groups and subgroups.

To add a group or subgroup

If you have both software and appliance licenses, at the top of the License Portal, click Software or Software Capacity on the drop-down as needed to select the type of group you are creating. (To add a sub-group, navigate to the group to which you want to add a sub-group.)

On the Groups page, do the following:

•

Click Add Group.

•

If you are creating a subgroup, navigate to and select a group to which you want to add a subgroup, and then click Add Group.

If you have numerous groups in the table, you can easily filter the list of groups and search to locate the group to which you want to add a subgroup. See the topic, Viewing and Searching for Groups for more information.

In the Add Group dialog box, enter a name for the new group.


	NOTE: The Group Name is required.

In the Description text box, enter a description for the group, as needed.

Click Add.
