Special considerations of activating the application when using profiles

If you use profiles to manage multiple Security Servers, make allowance for the following special features of the application activation:

• The effective term of the license is counted from the moment the active key is added. Active keys are automatically replaced with reserve keys upon expiration of the license on each of the Security Servers included in the profile, according to the time of the Microsoft Exchange server on which the Security Server is installed. This is important when, for example, the Security Servers included in a profile are located in different time zones.
• In the Management Console, in the workspace of the Profiles \ <Profile name> \ Licensing node, the keys and license expiry dates are shown for each of the added keys according to the time of Management Console. For example, if the license defined by the active key has expired according to the time of Management Console and a reserve key has been added, the workspace shows only the reserve key and its properties.
• You cannot add, replace or delete a key separately for a Security Server that has been added to the profile. You can add, replace or delete a key only for all Security Servers in the profile, where the license applied to all Security Servers of the profile.
• After you have added a Security Server to a profile, the active key of this Security Server is replaced with the active key, added for the entire profile.
• After you have deleted the Security Server from the profile, the active key that was added for the profile is the one that remains active for the Security Server. The key for this Security Server is displayed in the workspace of the Licensing node.
