  • 1.  Set the Default License for New Agents

    Posted Sep 23, 2016 01:00 PM
    Hi Community!

    Many users with multiple licenses have been asking how to change the default license for new agents. I wanted to make a quick post to ensure this information is available via Community.

    1) Log into Client 0 via the User Interface
    2) Open the "HOST" folder
    3) Open the template for the agent type you wish to edit ( <WIN> for windows agents )
    4) Select the "Attributes" tab
    5) Use the "License Category" drop down to select the default license you would like to use

    New agents of that type will now use the selected license category.

    I hope this has been helpful!

    Additional note: This currently only works if you first create the Agent manually in client 0, under the HOST folder. The Agent created manually in the HOST folder will pick up the template settings (template eg: <WIN>, <UNIX>, etc)

    New agents (that does not exist in client 0 - HOST folder) started (windows, unix, etc) without manually creating it in the HOST folder will *not* pickup the template settings.

    Another way to achieve this is using a HSTA (Client assignment / Host Attributes) object:

    In which case there will be no need to create the agent object first, it will get its license category upon its first startup.
