Within NSX Lastline, each Sensor appliances must be associated with a unique license:subkey combination. When NSX Lastline licenses are initially created and activated, a single Sensor license is automatically created and is immediately available for use for the first Sensor registration process. If customers wish to install more than one Sensor, additional Sensor subkeys must be created within the NSX Lastline portal, then activated on the Sensor appliance.

To do so, login to either in the Hosted portal or the local Manager appliance and perform the following steps:

Create a new Sensor Sub-license

1 - After logging into the appropriate NSX Lastline portal (your local On-Premise manager WebUI) as an Admin user, click on Admin, Licensing and Add Sensor

2 - On the new page select the relative license key you want to associate your new sensors

3 - Insert the sensor key - NOTE: you can only use alpha-numeric characters, dot(.) and dash (-) here.

4 - Insert the sensor name - you can only use alpha-numeric with special characters here and click Save.

5 - If the creation of the license is successful you will see a green band with the write:

"Sensor added successfully"

6 - To check the new license go to Licensing, Sensors

7 - The new screen will show now the license of the new Sensor we created 1 minute ago

8 - Now you can register your sensor accessing it after the installation via console and running lastline_register

Notes:

License key is a drop-down and for most customers, only includes a single choice.

Sensor key is a free-form text box, with some character limitations, as this is the underlying Sensor subkey value in the license:subkey pair

Name is the "soft" name for the Sensor, which is used in several tabs throughout the NSX Lastline portal

After the license has been created in the portal UI, one can install the license on a new sensor during Sensor installation by choosing the new license during the registration step.

VMware's operations team may reach out if there are license overlap issues with your NSX Lastline deployment.

Confirmation of problem:

You can confirm that the sub-keys overlap as follows:

Login to the appropriate NSX Lastline Portal (Hosted or On-Premise)

Click on the Appliances tab

Hover your mouse over the license for each active Sensor appliance and verify that the license:subkey string is not reused across Sensors.

Corrective action:

At a high level, this license overlap is solved in two steps

Create new Sensor Sub-license

Apply the new Sensor Sub-license to one of the Sensors, as follows:

Applying a new Sensor Sub-license to an existing Sensor

Generate a new license as described in Create new Sensor Sub-license above

Log into one of the overlapping Sensors and run the lastline_setup command

Change the sensor subkey using the 'sensor_subkey' command

Apply the new configuration by typing 'save'

Verify configuration has completed by matching appliance License (mouse-over) and UUID between the portal and the Sensor CLI
