Subscription Serial Number Page

The Subscription Serial Number page allows you to view and verify the patch management subscription for the ZENworks primary server. The page also allows you to activate or renew your paid subscription in case it has expired. The page provides a summary of all subscription elements that are part of your patch management activities. This information is updated after each replication with the ZENworks Patch Management Subscription Service.

NOTE:ZENworks Patch Management Services provides a 60-day free trial period. You need not enter a serial number unless you purchase the product or the 60-day free trial has expired.

Enter the subscription serial number, which is valid only for a 60-day trial. The Product Serial Number panel will not display any details since the product is in trial mode.
To continue using the patch management features of the ZENworks Control Center, at the end of your 60-day free trial, you must enter a valid subscription serial number for ZENworks Patch Management Services along with the company name and email address.
Revalidate the subscription serial number. The license record is now valid, and will display its description, purchase date, vendor, effective date, and expiration date.

IMPORTANT:If you are upgrading from a prior version of ZENworks Patch Management Services, you can use your existing patch management subscription serial number once your ZENworks Patch Management 10.1 server has been uninstalled.
