Service Groups (Service Group Administration)
The
Service Groups utility allows service group administrators to manage licensing configuration for offline systems. For more information, see
Deploying an Offline System.
Launch the Service Groups utility by clicking Service Groups on the administration home page. The name, description (if any), and creation date for the service group is displayed. Click the service group name to view the Licensing Configuration information for the service group.
From the Licensing Configuration tab, you can do the following:
• View the license details configured for the service group by the Servigistics InService web system administrator, including the expiration of the current licenses. This information is read-only.
• Manually enter installation keys provided as part of activating an offline system into the Installation Keys fields, along with the name of the activating user and the activation date. The installation key string is used to uniquely identify the installation instance and the machine for which a license is required. This string is generated during the Servigistics InService installation and associated to the service group during the client-side activation process.
Installation keys that have already been provided cannot be edited. New installation keys can be manually added during the activation of any additional offline systems.
• Generate service group administrative packages for use with an offline system.
Generating an Administrative Package
For offline systems that do not use the web activation, an administrative package must be generated and provided to the administrator for the offline system. (For web activations, this information is downloaded automatically.) The administrative package includes the licenses, users, and profiles defined for the service group.
