How to install/add a license

Note

Since FIXEye 4.0.2 (and FIXEye Agent 2.0.0.28) only FIXEye Agent requires a license. 

Adding a license file in Windows

  • License file is bound during the installation of FIXEye Agent:

  • If the path to a license file was not specified during the installation of FIXEye Agent, it can be added to a root folder of FIXEye Agent at any time.

Adding a license file in Linux

Please refer to FIXEye Agent installation (Linux)
