Install the Protector Master on each of the nodes in the Windows cluster as described in How to install a Protector master or client on a Windows cluster.

Because each machine in the cluster has a different machine ID, a separate license is required for each node:

  1. Navigate to the Protector web UI using the IP address for the Cofio Hub service.
  2. Log in using the local machine credentials of administrator@master.
  3. Add the license key for this machine following the procedure described in How to Add a License.
  4. To add the licenses for the remaining cluster nodes, browse to the installation directory, then navigate to the subdirectory db\config
  5. Right click License.xml and open the file with WordPad.
    The following XML is displayed showing the license key for the active node:
    <licenses> 
        <entry>ADYFKAE9PMM9BM2KXDNWCEO8PSABE244U8GA</entry> 
    </licenses> 
  6. Copy line 2 (the license key for the currently active cluster node) and insert it as a new line below line 2.
  7. Change the license key on line 3 to match the one provided for the second cluster node.
    The following XML should be displayed:
    <licenses> 
        <entry>ADYFKAE9PMM9BM2KXDNWCEO8PSABE244U8GA</entry>
        <entry>DFGA54AGFDFHDJK675HH86453GHTFGD553DR</entry> 
    </licenses> 
  8. Repeat for each additional node.
  9. Save and close the file.
