license renewal steps

[splunklearner]

currently we have Splunk enterprise 9.1.4 with 1 deployment server, 1 deployer (SH cluster), 2 cluster managers, 6 indexers (2 in each site), and 3 SHs (1 in each site), basically a 3 site cluster.

SHCD (Deployer) acts as license master for us.

Please help me with how to renew the license from the file which I will receive from my management?

and do we need to push it to all other nodes or is it already configured? where to check is it configured or not?

how to check is renewal successful or not?

and how to renew Splunk license with license number and GUID provided by Splunk team? unable to login to license number.

You (or a responsible person designated by your organization) should have received a license file. You need to upload this file to the webui (or copy-paste its contents). Or use the CLI to add this license file.

Anyway, you need a _file_ describing your license capacities.

If you don't have it and due to some organizational changes have no idea who should have received it work with your Splunk sales contact on this issue.

The license file only needs to be installed on the License Manager (your SHCD).  Sign in to the Deployer and go to Settings->Licensing.  Then click the Add License button and follow the prompts to upload to copy-paste the license file.  That's it.  Once the new license is installed, you'll see it on the License page.

Hi @richgalloway ,

thanks for the reply. 

what about this - and do we need to push it to all other nodes or is it already configured? where to check is it configured or not?

Please clarify.

When you have a LM and it's configured on other servers as LM then there isn't needed any actions on other server side. 

On LM side it told to you if it needs restart or not. Usually it doesn't need it.

Or you can do it on cli also https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.4.0/Admin/LicenserCLIcommands
There are other license stuff also behind above link too.
