The licensing process varies slightly depending on what LoadMaster type you have

The different types of LoadMasters are as follows:
  • Hardware LoadMaster
  • Virtual LoadMaster
  • Bare Metal LoadMaster
  • Cloud Bring Your Own License (BYOL) LoadMaster
  • Cloud Pay As You Go (PAYG) LoadMaster
Note: This document discusses licensing your LoadMaster using a license obtained from the Progress Kemp Licensing Server, using either the online (preferred) or offline methods. The licensing screen on your LoadMaster may also present an option for:

There are two methods within the LoadMaster to activate a license – online or offline.

You can use online licensing when the LoadMaster has access to the internet. You can use offline licensing when the LoadMaster does not have access to the internet.

Note: If you are licensing a Free LoadMaster or Service Provider License Agreement (SPLA) LoadMaster, you can only use the online licensing method.
Note: When licensing a High Availability (HA) pair of LoadMasters, each LoadMaster unit requires its own license. When updating the license on a HA pair, you should update both units separately.
