updated method apply 30day eval key to SPARK SMB G...

Garrett_DirSec

Hello -- posting this because current sk116465 out of date (or wrong).

reference sk116465:

The key point of information in sk116465 specifies that license keys should be issued to localhost (because Quark purchased licenses are issued to MAC address). Furthermore, the SK specifies that EVAL keys should be issued to localhost as well.

This is WRONG as of R81.10.10 release. I have not tested other versions. I hope the below helps others. -GA

Procedure to test:

issue 30day eval key to UC account ##. do NOT enter IP address.
enter UC account and License 30day eval key.
select "LOCAL" and enter loopback address for both (127.0.0.1).
view license details and look for the command-line example for installation of GATEWAY portion of 30day key.

This license cannot be installed on the local machine:

The license IP Address does not match any of the local machine's IP Addresses.

If this license has an IP Address of the Security Management, use SmartUpdate to install it.

However, if you following same procedure to provision local license and instead use IP address on SPARK appliance, this works.

Note:

the warning msgs about "marketing name"
the existing commercial license on 1500 appliance issued to 127.0.0.1 (using automatic "home phone" activation).
