Updating the Instance Licensing

The license key is the 25-digit serial number that RSA provides. The serial number is required for each instance. You can paste the entire string into the first field to populate the remaining fields automatically. The Update License Key opens from the Instance tab in the Archer Control Panel.

Note: The system alerts users with administrative rights 30 days before the license expires. The system administrator must contact their Account Manager to renew their Archer license.
