License¶
Introduction¶
License Management shows the status and location of your SecureSuite license and enables you to update your license. Only users with the System Admin role have access to the License Management page.
This guide explains:
Without a valid license, you cannot start new Controls assessments or run remote configuration assessments.
CIS Controls Memberships¶
For those with CIS Controls Memberships, all Benchmarks-related functionality will be hidden in the application.
To further secure your systems, we strongly recommend getting the full CIS SecureSuite Membership to use Benchmarks functionality. Refer to CIS SecureSuite Categories and Pricing to apply for a membership.

The license file you are uploading must be valid and named license.xml or the update will fail. If valid, the new license from your local machine will update the license file that resides on the installation machine.

To change the directory where the license file is stored, rerun the installation and select a different license directory (Windows installation or Linux installation).
