Use online licensing actions to renew authorization, renew registration, re-register, or de-register Crosswork Network Controller.

Use this task after online registration when registration or authorization renewal requires manual action, or when you must de-register the product.

These actions apply to online or connected licensing. They are not part of the normal first-time registration workflow.

Before you begin

Make sure that the product is in the Registered state.

Procedure

Use case

Renew Authorization

Use this action when automatic authorization renewal fails.

Renew Registration

Use this action when automatic registration renewal fails.

Re-register

Use this action after backup restore, disaster recovery, data migration, upgrade, or token expiration when the product must be registered again.

De-register

Use this action before you change transport settings or disconnect the product from the current registration.

After de-registration, Crosswork returns to evaluation mode if evaluation time remains. If the evaluation period has expired, Crosswork enters Evaluation Expired mode.
