Initial Configuration
License
After the first logon to the web interface using the username 'administrator' and the password you selected during the installation process, you will be presented with the Host Key IDs of your new system. These IDs will be required to generate your final license. Please You can log in to the customer portal, Snare License and Download Manager (SLDM), to generate the license, or contact your Snare Central support team via the Snare Support online helpdesk service representative and provide these Host Key IDs.
Your Snare Central support team may also supply you with a 1 month temporary license with your media, or digital download - this temporary license can be installed at this point, using the License upload form shown in the graphic displayed to the right.
If you need to return to the license page in the future, you can access it through the Snare Central Health Checker, or alternatively, you can point your browser at it directly by going to http://snarecentral.mycompany.com/Setup/License.php (where snareserversnarecentral.mycompany.com is the DNS address or IP address of your Snare Central server).
Once the license has been correctly loaded, the Snare Central Configuration Wizard will execute, allowing you to specify initial configuration settings.
