Product licensing

Product licensing

For more information, see the Foglight Administration and Configuration Guide.

To purchase a full license, contact your Foglight sales representative. You can install purchased licenses either during the 45-day trial or after the trial period has expired. You install and manage licenses using the Manage Licenses dashboard.

To activate a trial or a purchased commercial license:

1. On the navigation panel, under Dashboards, click Administration > Setup & Support > Manage Licenses.
2. Click Install.
3. In the Install License dialog box, click Browse.
