We can configure and replace license changes to Aria Automation either using the CLI or through the Aria Suite Lifecycle UI. This short post demonstrates the convenient way using Aira Suite Lifecycle (formerly known as vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager).

First, we must install the new license in Lifecyle Locker. Locker is an application which helps to manage the Certificate, Passwords, and Licenses from single pane.

The procedure is as follows:

  1. Navigate to the Lifecycle Operations dashboard, click Locker.
  2. On the left, click the Licenses icon.
  3. To add a new license, click ADD LICENSE MANUALLY.
  4. Follow the wizard and enter the details as required:
    • License Alias
    • License Key
  5. After you validate the accuracy of the license, click Add.
  6. The new license appears in the locker.

Next, the new License key can be applied to Aria Automation in Lifecycle Operations.

  1. Select the Environments tab, and then click View Details for the Aria Automation product card.
  2. Select the product options (…) icon, and then click Add License from the drop-down list.

    You can view the list of current licenses.
  3. Select the new license from the drop-down list, and then verify the license details.
  4. In the next window, you can optionally delete the old license by selecting the license to be removed under Terminate Licenses.
  5. After clicking Finish, the License requests can be tracked in the Aria Suite Lifecycle Requests tab.

Once the request has been finished successfully, we can verify the new license from the Aria Auto CLI using the command “vracli license“.
