Set Up the VOSS Cloud Licensing Service
----------------------------------------

.. _21.1|VOSS-677:

VOSS-4-UC provides options to set up your VOSS Cloud Licensing service. The system registers your VOSS Cloud Licensing Service when saving the form.


**Prerequisite**

* Obtain your **Account ID** from the **Company Information** page on the **VOSS Cloud Licensing Service**.


**To add and activate the license**: 

1. Log in to the Admin Portal as a high-level administrator (system admin or above). 
#. Go to **Administration > Licensing > VOSS Cloud Licensing Service**.
#. Enter the account ID in the **Organization ID** field. 
#. Provide a description in the **Customer account information** field to identify the VOSS-4-UC installation type.
#. Choose your **Installation Type**: Lab or Production
#. Choose your **File format** types. The default is ``Anonymous ZIP``, which includes a checksum hash.

      Also refer to <a href="index-license-feature.html#data-export-types">Data Export Types</a>.

#. Choose whether to enable **File Upload Active**. 

#. If a web proxy is required, ensure that it is set up on the  **Web proxy**
   menu and choose it from the drop down.

   For web proxy setup, see :ref:`licensing-web-proxy`.
#. Click **Save**.

.. note::

   * The save operation will fail if no internet connection can be established to the
     VOSS Cloud Licensing Service.
   * Once the configuration is saved, the connection to the
     VOSS Cloud Licensing Service can be tested through the **Test Connection** actions on the form
     when investigating failures to upload license data files.
   * In the unlikely event that it is required to change the **Organization ID** associated with the
     platform, it is possible to modify the instance, which will attempt to re-register the platform
     with the VOSS Cloud Licensing Service.  A failure will rollback the configuration to the
     previous state.
