Q: SSM On-Prem already displays the export license. Why do I need to go to CSSM Cloud for it?
A: Previously, the licensing agent could get the export flag from SSM On-Prem. However, for agent version 5.0 and later (XE 17.x and later versions), this was changed, and the export license requires you to install an authorization. Only CSSM Cloud can generate the authorization code, which is why SSM On-Prem cannot provide the authorization. SSM On-Prem can get the authorization code by either doing a SLP network sync or an SLP manual sync with CSSM Cloud.
Troubleshooting:
If you experience an issue with this process, that you cannot address, please open a Licensing case at Support Case Manager (SCM) using Software Licensing option.
