Note: After adding a license key, if a reboot is required in order to
start a service/protocol or enable a feature, you are instructed to
reboot or restart the system.
For a file license, you can either enter the key manually or import it from
a file. For a block license, you can only import the key from a file:
• To enter the key manually, type it in the field, then click add.
• To import the key, click Choose File / Browse, navigate to the file,
select the key file, then click Import.
After all the keys have been entered or imported, they will be displayed
on the License Keys page. Follow the instructions to reboot the system
(if necessary).
