Merge Knox Suite licenses

If you want to reduce the number of licenses you manage, you can merge Knox Suite licenses. There are two ways to do this:

Append Enterprise Edition devices to an existing Knox Suite license

If you already have a Knox Suite license for EE devices and you receive an additional device upload of EE devices, you can add the new batch of devices to your existing license.

This operation increases the number of seats in your existing license to include the additional devices. It also adjusts the license key's expiration date.

To append EE devices to an existing Knox Suite license:

  1. Sign in to your SamsungKnox.com dashboard.

  2. In the Knox Suite for Enterprise Edition devices card, click Launch.

  3. Select the reseller that uploaded a new batch of devices.

  4. Click Generate License.

  5. In the Generate license popup, do the following:

    1. Select Append to an existing license key, then click Next.

    2. Select the existing license key you want to add devices to, then click Next.

    3. Read and confirm the changes (simulated result) to be made on the existing license key, then click Generate.

  6. The newly uploaded devices are added to your existing license.
