Licensing overview

After assigning the license, your device will go to the Devices tab.

Remember that Local worker, Cloud worker and Feature worker licenses are free licenses. It allows you to perform certain operations on the Xopero ONE system. The device with such a license cannot perform the backup of itself. For this reasons, devices with one of these licenses assigned are available in the Settings -> Advanced -> Workers tab.

Known problems

If your device, despite installation, does not appear in the "Activate agent" tab:

• for devices in a domain, the agent takes a little longer to start. Wait up to 10 minutes. Only after this time, check the correctness of the configuration.

• edit the config.json file in the backup agent installation location (Windows: C:\ProgramData\Xopero ONE\Xopero ONE Backup&Recovery Agent Linux: /opt/XoperoONEBackupAgent) and check whether the "ServiceUrl" parameter correctly specifies the address of your Xopero ONE management service.

If after assigning a license your device is not visible in the devices tab. Check the information above about Local worker, Cloud worker and Feature worker licenses. Then check the Settings -> Advanced -> Workers tab.
