Overview

Updating the license for existing OLI products is very straight forward. The OLI security devices are either USB type keys (dongles) with LH or LA designations or a softkey (software solution) with an LS designation. The following tutorial is going to assume that the latest version of OLI's Network License manager is up and running at this point on a given machine.
