Licensing
To work with your IGEL environment, your devices must have valid licenses.
You can deploy your licenses via Automatic License Deployment (ALD), which is the preferred method, or manually. For details, see IGEL Subscription and More > IGEL Licensing > IGEL Software Licenses Articles > IGEL Software Licenses How-Tos > Deploying Licenses > Setting up Automatic License Deployment (ALD). For a list of all deployment methods, see IGEL Subscription and More > IGEL Licensing > IGEL Software Licenses Articles > IGEL Software Licenses How-Tos > 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.
