If you chose an hourly licensing model, follow the steps below to initially set up the LoadMaster:

  1. Open the VLM in a web browser by entering https://InstanceAddress:8443 in the address bar. The instance address can be the public IP address or the public DNS, both of which can be found in the EC2 Console in the Description tab.
  2. Acknowledge the self-signed certificate to proceed.
    Note: The certificate used by the WUI takes the public name used by AWS.
  3. Accept the End User License Agreement (EULA).
  4. 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.

A prompt appears asking for the username and password. Enter bal as the username and the password that was set previously. The LoadMaster is now licensed and is ready for administration and configuration.
