Importing the SOAR Platform license

Before you can start the SOAR Platform, you must import the license that you obtained from IBM Security®.

About this task

To import the license, use an SSH client, such as PuTTY, to log in to the SOAR system.

If you do not have the license, refer to the IBM Security Support page.

To import the license, complete the following.

Copy the license file that you received from IBM Security.
Log in to the system with SSH as the user account you created in the previous section. You can use PuTTY or connect from a terminal client as follows.
```
ssh <username>@<Platform hostname or IP Address>
```
To import the license, enter the following command:
```
sudo license-import -file <License File>
```
A message, similar to the following message, appears on the screen, indicating successful import:
```

```
To display information about the currently installed license, enter the following command:
```
sudo resutil license
```
The system displays the following information:
- Customer name, which is the name of your company.
- Expiration, which is the expiration date of the license.
- US regulators enabled, which displays true or false.
