nents. Add-on licenses provide access to optional components
for file inspection and specialized Proxy features.
To license the appliance:
1. Open a browser and enter the appliance’s IP address
and port number. For example, an IP address of
192.168.2.42 with a port number of 8082 (the default),
would be: https://192.168.2.42:8082.
2. When prompted, enter the admin Username and Pass-
word specified during the initial configuration, then click
Login. The Management Console window opens.
3. Activate the base license:
In the Management Console window, navigate to the
Proxy > Maintenance > Licensing > Install tab.
Click Retrieve. The appliance downloads the base
license from the licensing server and installs it.
