Registration Requirements
The Management Windows Service is the only component that needs to be registered. Neither the Management Console, nor the Agent requires registration.
How to Register the Management Windows Service
The registration process requires access to the Internet. If you are firewalled or air gapped, see How to Register an Air Gapped Installation.
If your organization is using a web proxy, see Web Proxy

- From the License View, use the Email textbox to specify the email address that was used to purchase your license.
Note
To add your email account to your organization's license, contact Corner Bowl Support at info@CornerBowlSoftware.com.
- Use the License key textbox to specify your license key.
Note
If you do not have a license key, log into the Corner Bowl Software website with your email address to retrieve your license key.
- Use the Node Count textbox to specify the number of nodes you would like to license.
Note
To distribute your license over multiple installations, set the node code on each installation so the total value does not exceed your licensed node count.
How to Register Air Gapped Installations

To generate a license key file:

To install the license key file:

- Open the Corner Bowl Management Console.
- Select Service -> Stop, then Service -> Start.
To verify the license key file:
- From the Management Console, locate the Explorer View, typically pinned to the left side of the application, then find the License node at the bottom of the view and select. The License View displays.
- Review your license information for accuracy.
To apply new maintenance to an existing air gapped installation:
