one license file per machine

A new license file is required for every machine because it is locked to a MachineID. For most customers on a single machine you only need a single license file

Install Using Web Interface​

This is the recommended method suitable for most deployments. You just have to upload the new license to the Hub and Probe nodes using the License page

👉 Login as Admin → Select Context :default → Licensing

On the Licensing page you can click on the Upload Button shown in the image below to select the new License file and upload it.
