Initial Login and Activation of the ClearPass Platform License
Upon initial login to a ClearPass 6.7 server, you are prompted to enter the ClearPass Platform License Key. The
ClearPass licenses on each cluster node are converted to ClearPass Platform Licenses. The ClearPass Platform
License provides a platform activation code that is installed on all the nodes in a ClearPass cluster.
The ClearPass Platform License is the base-level license. Each ClearPass server has one ClearPass Platform
License for the physical hardware. Virtual devices have a ClearPass Platform License as well on a per-expected
device level.
To specify the ClearPass Platform license upon initial login:
1. After the configuration has been applied at the virtual appliance console, open a web browser and go to the
management interface of ClearPass Policy Manager: https://x.x.x.x/tips/, where x.x.x.x is the IP address
of the management interface defined for the ClearPass server in Table 8.
2. Log in to the ClearPass 6.7 server.
