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 Key IDs of your new system. These IDs will be required to generate your final license. You can log in to the customer portal, Snare License and Download Manager (SLDM), to generate the license, or contact your Snare representative and provide these Key IDs.
...
If you need to return to the license page in the future, you can access it through the Snare Health Checker, or alternatively, you can point your browser at it directly by going to http://snarecentral.mycompany.com/Setup/License.php (where snarecentral.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.
