This guide will present how to replace or insert a new Content Central License Key. These instructions are valid for all Content Central versions. 
Please note that this is for on-premise solutions only. If Content Central is hosted with Ademero via a cloud server please contact our support line and we will be happy to insert your new license key. 

1. When you receive your license key log onto the server that is hosting the Content Central application.

The default location for the executables are stored are in the following location:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Ademero\Content Central\
2. When the Configuration manager opens up navigate to the "License" section. 



3. If this is your first license there may not be an entry for a Content Central license. If you are replacing your license key, then the license section will contain the existing content central license and parameters of the license.

4. Once the "Enter License Key" option is selected, insert your new license key into the blank box that appears and click "apply". If you have a pre-existing key, you may discard the existing key that exists in the box by backspacing the key and pasting your new key into the new empty box, then click "apply".
