Installing your Mutiny Licence

The Mutiny licence is attached in ASCII-armoured format.

In order to licence your Mutiny appliance, you need to login in "admin" mode and select "Admin => System Configuration". At the bottom of the page you will see a large box marked "Licence Key" (just below the "Serial Number"). Open the attached licence using a simple text editor such as Microsoft Notepad and cut and paste the entire contents into the "Licence Key" box. Then press the "Update" button.

If your previous licence has expired or is invalid, you will now need to reboot your Mutiny system. Select "Admin => System Operations => Reboot Mutiny System" and press the "Confirm" button to initiate the reboot sequence.

Once the system has rebooted, you can check that your new licence is valid as when you login again, there should be no warning messages on the Login page.

Any problems, please contact support.
