Licensing
To work with your IGEL environment, your devices and UMS must have valid licenses. For details, see https://kb.igel.com/en/igel-subscription-and-more/current/igel-subscription .
You can deploy your licenses via Automatic License Deployment (ALD), which is the preferred method, or manually. For details, see Setting up Automatic License Deployment (ALD). For a list of all deployment methods, see https://kb.igel.com/en/igel-subscription-and-more/current/deploying-licenses
EULA Must Be Accepted
To prepare your licenses for deployment, you must accept the EULA for the Product Pack that contains your licenses. For instructions, see Accepting the EULA.
