You must authenticate the V3 product to enable its features.

The ‘Product authentication required’ message appears in the CLI for the Server where the product is not authenticated after the product is installed, as shown above.

For EPP, the product can be authenticated through the EPP server.

If V3 is a standalone which is not integrated with a management server, follow the steps below to authenticate the product manually.

To Authenticate Online

In a network environment where direct communication with AhnLab server is available, you can use CLI command to authenticate the product right away.

1. Run V3 CLI from the bin folder of the V3’s installation path.

# cd /usr/local/v3net/bin
# ./v3cli

2. Enter the command below.

v3net> action runauth

3. When the authentication is completed, a message appears as shown below, and the ‘Product authentication required’ message disappears upon restarting CLI.

To Authenticate in a Closed Network

In a closed network environment where direct communication with AhnLab server is unavailable, follow the 3 steps below to authenticate the product.

1. Create information file (.oafq) from V3 installation server
2. Upload the information file (.oafq) on MyCompany website to create an authentication file (.oafp)
3. Upload the authentication file (.oafp) to the server again

For more detailed instructions, follow the steps below.

Create the Information File (.oafq)

1. Run V3 CLI from the bin folder of the V3’s installation path.

# cd /usr/local/v3net/bin
# ./v3cli

2. Enter the command below to create the information file for offline authentication.

If the path is not specified separately by using dirpath option, the file will be created in the /tmp/auth.oafq path.

v3net> action offline export dirpath [Path]    //Saved in default path if omitted
v3net> action offline export productnumber [Product Number]

3. Move the created information file (auth.oafq) to a PC connected with internet.

Create the Authentication File (.oafp)

1. Log in to [MyCompany] on the PC with the information file (auth.oafq) imported.

2. Go to [License] - [Offline Authentication] and then click [Upload license information file].

3. Click [Browse...] to locate and upload the information file (auth.oafq) and click [Next].

4. Once the authentication file is created, click [Download all authentication files].

5. Import the downloaded authentication file (auth.oafp) to the server where V3 is installed.

Upload the Authentication File to the Server

1. Run V3 CLI.

2. Enter the command below to apply the authentication file.

v3net> action offline import Authentication File Path

※ If the file path is /tmp/auth.oafp, you do not need to enter the authentication file path separately.

3. Once the application is complete, the message above will be displayed, and the ‘Product authentication required’ message will no longer be displayed when you rerun the CLI.

Check Registered Device

After installation, you can check the devices that have completed authentication in [MyCompany] - [License] - [Use/Manage].
