  4. In the appliance, navigate to Administration > Basic Settings > HPE Aruba Networking Cloud Services.

    NOTE: Do not update the host or port fields and do not configure the DNS settings on the appliance.

  6. Navigate to Administration > Basic Settings > License & Registration.

  7. Copy and paste the account name and key into the appropriate fields.
