What is the workflow for adding a new appliance?

Important note on new appliance licenses: The license provisioning process for new appliances has changed since our legacy License Portal was retired.

(See announcement) 

As of October 24, 2023, you are no longer required to create locations or sites when assigning licenses for appliances. Instead, new appliances will appear within the Licenses page automatically, once they have been provisioned.

Steps to add a license for a new appliance:

1. Create the client (if the client does not yet exist)

2. Install x360Recover on your BDR (if you are using BYOD hardware)

3. Provision the new BDR by connecting to the appliance IP address with a web browser and completing the registration wizard

4. Assign licenses within x360Recover Manager from the Licenses tab, as described above

5. Once the provisioning process has been completed, the new appliance will appear within x360Recover Manager under 'Services' 'Clients' and 'Licenses'
