Update the CIS-CAT Pro Assessor license

Generally, the CIS-CAT Pro Assessor license is updated when you upgrade Security Compliance Management (SCM). However, if you are unable to upgrade SCM before the CIS-CAT Pro Assessor license expires, follow these instructions to apply a Puppet-supplied CIS-CAT Pro Assessor license to your SCM deployment, so that compliance scans continue to operate against the CIS Benchmarks.

1. Get the latest license.xml file from https://deliver.perforce.com/ using your Salesforce credentials.

2. Host the new license file where it can be retrieved by your nodes via the source attribute of the file resource. This could be a URI, NFS share, or web server. See the Puppet documentation to review how to host files on a node.

3. Update the license_path parameter for the comply module to the path of the new license file in Puppet Enterprise using Node Groups > your Compliance node group > Classes > class:comply > license_path. For example, if you were hosting the file on your node using a puppet: URI, it would look similar to puppet:///modules/comply/license.xml.

The new license takes affect when Puppet next runs on your node. You can manually run Puppet on your node from the Jobs page to enforce the new license path.

The updated CIS-CAT Pro Assessor license is now available in SCM and your compliance scans continue to operate against the CIS Benchmarks.
