When using the BYOL method, the normal LoadMaster licensing and activation process is used. Access the LoadMaster using the WUI by entering the Public Address, preceded with https:// and followed by :8443. Then, proceed through the steps and license the LoadMaster.

To use the BYOL option, follow the steps below:

  1. Deploy the BYOL – Trial and perpetual license version of the VLM (follow the steps in the Start a New Instance section).
  2. When the LoadMaster deploys successfully, connect to the LoadMaster WUI, for example, https://52.45.31.111:8443.
  3. Acknowledge the self-signed certificate to proceed.
  4. Accept the EULA.
  5. Enter your Progress ID and password to obtain a trial license. If you have an Order ID#, enter it now to apply the purchased license. If you do not have an Order ID#, you can proceed with these steps and then enter an Order ID# later after contacting a Progress Kemp representative to purchase a license (see steps below).
  6. Select your license and click Continue.
  7. A screen appears asking if you are OK with the LoadMaster regularly contacting Progress Kemp to check for updates and other information. Click the relevant button to proceed.
  8. Enter a new password for the default bal account and click Set password.

If you did not enter the Order ID# during the initial configuration, follow the steps below to license the LoadMaster:

  1. Contact a Progress Kemp representative to get a license.
  2. Log in to the LoadMaster WUI and navigate to System Configuration > System Administration > License Management.
  3. Enter your Progress ID and Password to update the license.

We recommend rebooting after updating the license.
