Upgrading from Evaluation to Licensed Version

If you have chosen to trial Ion in a proof of concept using the 30-day evaluation period, or simply started your deployment without a Browsium Client Management Server (BCMS) in place and now want to ensure all Ion clients function properly, you will need to have a BCMS in place.

Clients must contact the BCMS server to obtain authorization and continue functioning as licensed software. Failure to regularly connect to the BCMS server (at least once every 30 days) will result in the client machine becoming ‘unauthorized’ and the software will no longer function.

Upgrading clients to licensed status is simply a matter of configuring them to contact the BCMS server. If the BCMS server includes a valid license file, provided by Browsium, client communication with the BCMS will ensure registration and authorization happen automatically. Clients DO NOT need the license file deployed to any systems.

For more information about BCMS please see the Browsium Client Management System Administration Guide.
