titleRetrieving the Management ID
After you generate the license key, you will receive an email within 24 hours (check spam folder, clutter, and such) that includes the Management ID. For information about how to apply the Management ID, refer to either Configuring for Ribbon Application Management Platform during Initial Setup or Configuring for Ribbon Application Management Platform at Node-level.

FIRST STEPS - Identify the Correct Release and 
Spacevars
0series3
ID

Before generating an 

Spacevars
0series3
Permanent License, do the following:

  • Confirm the 
    Spacevars
    0series3
    1bold
    was first installed and activated (whether on-premises or in public deployments) with
    Release 9.0.0, 8.1.5 or later, or Release 8.0.4 software (to identify the
    Spacevars
    0series3
    's software release, refer to Viewing the Software Version and Hardware ID (SBC 1000/2000, SBC SWe Edge)). If the 
    Spacevars
    0series3
    was initially installed and activated with Release 8.1.0 or 8.0.3 or earlier, do not generate a license file from this portal at this time. Instead, disregard all further actions on this page and contact Ribbon support for the next steps.  An attempt to generate a license without Ribbon support results in an 
    Spacevars
    0series3
    operation failure, and delays the roll-out of SBC services.
  • When submitting the 
    Spacevars
    0series3
    1bold
    ID to generate the license file, confirm you are using the correct 
    Spacevars
    0series3
    1bold
    ID value:
    a 32 character string found in the Release 9.0.0, 8.0.4, or 8.1.5 System Overview display.

Before generating a license, identify the 

Spacevars
0series3
ID in System Overview as follows:

  1. In the WebUI, click the System tab.
  2. In the System page, click the Overview tab.
  3. Identify and record the the correct 
    Spacevars
    0series3
    ID (see Figure 1 as an example) before generating a license, and proceed to Prerequisites.
