I am coming up on my first year license renewal. When I get the licenses renewed for all of my SolarWinds software, what is the process for updating this on my systems?
For products still on old licensing (NPM, NCM), there's nothing to do since there's no maintenance checking that occurs during upgrades. If you're running products that have moved to new licensing (NTA 3.6, IPAM 1.x, IPSLA 3.x, APM 3.x, EOC 1.1 or later, Toolset 10.0 or later), you'll be provisioned new activation keys upon your renewal. Customer service will handle this when they process your renewal.
You can then use License Manager to activate your new licenses.
Note, this won't impact you until the next time you upgrade to a new version of those products. At the time of upgrade, we check the maintenance expiration date stored in your installed license. If the maint expiration date is less than the build date on the product, we'll block the upgrade and tell you to install the new activation key.
HTH,
