When an SPLA LoadMaster is initially deployed, you must select Kemp 360 Central Licensing (formerly Local Activation on pre-7.2.43 LoadMasters) or Online Licensing.

When a locally licensed LoadMaster is initially deployed, a screen (similar to the one above) appears. If this screen does not appear, you are not using the correct version of the LoadMaster. Contact a Kemp representative if this is the case.

The Kemp 360 Central (with local licensing enabled) details must be configured in the LoadMaster web User Interface (UI) so the LoadMaster can contact Kemp 360 Central. Follow the steps below to activate the LoadMaster:

  1. Type the Host details of Kemp 360 Central in the Host text box.
  2. Type the Port to access Kemp 360 Central on in the Port text box.
    Note: The internal IP address and host name can be found in the Dashboard screen of the Kemp 360 Central instance. The hostname is based on the instance name, which is specified when originally creating the instance. If you are not using Azure, the default hostname is K360Central.
  3. Click Activate. The available license types are displayed.
  4. Select the relevant license type and click Continue.

The LoadMaster is now licensed against Kemp 360 Central, thus using one of the available licenses.
