Allocating a license key to a host
Allocate a license key to an IBM QRadar host when you want to replace an existing license, add new QRadar products, or increase the event or flow capacity in the shared license pool.
Before you begin
About this task
You can allocate multiple licenses to a QRadar console. For example, you can allocate license keys that add IBM QRadar Risk Manager and QRadar Vulnerability Manager to your QRadar console.
You cannot revert a license key after you add it to a QRadar host. If you mistakenly allocate a license to the wrong host, you must deploy the change, and then delete the license from the system. After the license is deleted, you can upload the license again, and then reallocate it. After the license is allocated to the correct host, you must deploy the changes again.
